Regardless of your level of expertise, the TAPPI Paper Machine Operations course – to be held June 12-14 in TAPPI’s Norcross GA offices - is the best way to learn more about paper mill operations and product quality. The course focus is on ‘why’ things happen on a paper machine and their impact on quality. Participants will also learn how to quickly troubleshoot operational problems to avoid costly downtime and improve product quality.
The Paper Machine Operations Course was developed by James W. Atkins, to provide participants, who are involved with day-to-day paper machine operation, fundamental training on the design and operation of the paper machine and support systems. Mr. Atkins has over forty years in the paper industry and has written, directed, and produced several TAPPI CBT training courses.
