Surface speed links rotational speed to machine speed. Use it to check drives, set a Yankee or roll to match the machine, or confirm a reading from the DCS.
Enter a target speed as well to get the RPM needed to reach it.
Machine
Surface speed of a roll or cylinder from its diameter and RPM, or the RPM for a target speed.
e.g. a 15 ft Yankee is 4572 mm
Surface speed
1,494m/min
Surface speed = π × diameter × RPM.
Production rate
Tonnes per hour, day and shift from machine speed, grammage and trim width.
Reel length and weight
Paper length and weight on a reel from its diameter, core, width and caliper.
Consistency and dilution
Dry fibre flow, and the water needed to dilute stock to a target consistency.
Basis weight, bulk and density
Convert grammage to imperial basis weights, and work out bulk and density from caliper.
FibreMate logs reels and stops as the shift runs and works out production, OEE and lost time for you.
