    Light Dry Crepe (LDC): Trying to stay competitive amidst pressures

    Manufacturers like you face unprecedented pressures: supply-chain disruptions, increasing private-label, retail, and online competition, and new technologies like hybrid structured machines and TAD that can make thicker tissue with less paper.

    To stay competitive, you’re driving throughput by increasing machine speed, adding strength via refining or softwood content, or extending blade life. Or you’re pushing quality by adding chemical softeners, adjusting crepe ratio, attempting low-moisture creping, and slowing the machine down to offset sheet-handling issues. But these all come with trade-offs. Focusing too much on quality can mean spending more on chemistry and furnish, even as production slows. Leaning too hard on productivity can lead to excessive breaks, reduced or inconsistent handfeel, machine damage, and costly downtime. In either case, you risk disappointing and losing customers.

    Instead of viewing Yankee coating as isolated and independent, you have to treat it as the enabler of other machine changes—the only lever that can unlock all the performance possibilities of your process. Making this shift means being able to predict the types of adaptations your Yankee coating will need to be capable of before you make changes, and identifying the coating package that will expand your operating windows based on the exact process adjustments you’re pursuing—without risk or compromise. When you do this, you’ll transform what your process can deliver: making more tons while reducing waste, innovating your base sheet to exceed customer demands, and continuously improving ahead of the market.
