William Kenyon have recently supervised a rebuild to the 5th to 6th section rope transfer and 6th section rope system on PM2 at Hollingsworth & Vose in the UK.

The design was implemented to give improved threading reliability. In addition, from a safety perspective, the design also removes the potential for manual intervention in the area during the tail feeding process. Since the installation, H&V has seen a tremendous improvement at the transfer and due to a couple of further minor modifications to existing transfers while on site, the mill has also seen much improved tail threading all the way through the machine.

The installation was trouble free and completed within the necessary timescale. This was in large part due to the close working relationship William Kenyon have built up over the years with the mill's engineering department.

Commented Ken Horton, H&V Operations Manager: "I approached William Kenyon on the basis that they had previously done other work on this particular paper machine. The designer was very meticulous and ensured the operators were happy with the install before he left our site.

"The rebuild to the 5th and 6th section rope transfer was very complicated with many obstacles to consider. The paper now runs through these two sections without any problems. Manual intervention is unnecessary."
