Application

This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to diagnose, rectify and report on plant, equipment or product quality faults in coated paper processes.

This unit applies to senior operators and production specialists who troubleshoot and rectify coated paper processes in a pulp or paper manufacturing facility. This work typically involves complex integrated equipment and continuous operations. Coated paper processes describe a range of systems and sub systems including tail feed systems, chemical and material batching, laminating and coating, splicing, clay plant operation, calendaring, pre-reeler operations, super calendaring, rewindering, drying systems, internal unloading and combine rollers.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
