the future of paper tail threading
we help you work smarter, not harder.
Our automated tail threading systems are designed to guide paper tails through paper machines during mill start-ups or restarts. Traditionally, this process is performed manually, making it both time-consuming and hazardous.
Utilizing remote-operated edge doctors, tail breakers, air jets, and conveyors, our systems enable operators to safely control the system from a central panel, which enhances safety, efficiency, and speed.
we design with success in mind.
When a paper machine is running, every second counts. Our components ensure precise and repeatable performance, allowing your production to run smoothly. Because doing it right the first time isn’t just a goal—it’s our standard.
When a sheet break happens, the first important task is to gain control over the threaded tail and position it properly.
After control is achieved, a fast and precise cut sets the tail up for successful transfer.
The freshly cut tail is then transferred using a customized vacuum conveyor system into the next section of the paper machine.
After the tail is completely threaded, a tail cutter positioned downstream moves horizontally across the machine to widen the sheet.
we custom-build to fit your needs.
We recognize that each machine section has specific requirements that vary from mill to mill, so we carefully craft our components to integrate seamlessly with your existing equipment. We prioritize durability, ensuring all components are to the highest quality standards. And we don’t just stop at delivering the equipment – from the first design to installation and ongoing support, we’re here for you. That’s what makes working with us a true partnership.
we have systems located worldwide.
we focus on personalized experiences.
Treating you like a person, not just a job, is something we take very seriously. We aren’t just designing your equipment, we’re building a relationship. One of our core values is “Loyalty,” and having repeat customers means a lot to us. We’re here to help and are always ready to do what it takes to make things right.
Every mill is unique, so our in-house design team gathers detailed data on-site and collaborates closely with your operators. Concepts are peer-reviewed by manufacturing and service experts for reliability before final approval.
All components are manufactured, assembled tested at our North Vancouver facility. System review is a team effort, involving the designer, assembly crew, and service techs to ensure flawless performance before shipping.
Our customer service and after-sales support is truly what set us apart from our competitors. Our technicians have personally visited over 100 mills across 19 countries, and equipped to provide direct, reliable support and seamless scheduling whenever you need it.
a process that delivers.
Over the years, we’ve collaborated with a wide range of businesses on a diverse mix of projects. Our process is collaborative, efficient, and, most importantly, it’s built around your satisfaction. We stay hands-on from the beginning to the end, and ensure every expectation is met.
We connect with you to understand your current process, identify challenges, and gather detailed machine information to recommend the right products to meet your needs.
Next, we work closely with our design team to create a custom solution based on your requirements and present it to your full team for feedback.
When your threading components arrive at your mill, we work with you and any on-site trades to fine-tune the system and ensure a smooth installation.
After installation, our service technicians are available to assist on-site, through video calls, or over the phone to address any questions or concerns you have. We’re also happy to provide spare parts if needed.
