the future of paper tail threading

developing safer solutions.

Redefining efficiency.

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.

Doing it right the first time.

we design with success in mind.

The steps for seamless threading:

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.

Control

When a sheet break happens, the first important task is to gain control over the threaded tail and position it properly.

Cut

After control is achieved, a fast and precise cut sets the tail up for successful transfer.

Transfer

The freshly cut tail is then transferred using a customized vacuum conveyor system into the next section of the paper machine.

Widen

After the tail is completely threaded, a tail cutter positioned downstream moves horizontally across the machine to widen the sheet.

Engineered for Excellence.

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.

What sets us apart

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.

Designs

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.
