Frequently Encountered Problems Frequently Encountered Problems

While there are a whole host of problems that packaging and paper board producers may encounter, Hercules Paper Technologies offers a comprehensive array of cost-effective chemical technologies that address most, if not all, frequently encountered problems.  To learn about some of the solutions we have to offer for some of the most frequent problems, click on anyone of the links below.

Contaminant Control
Pitch and stickies deposition
Deposition and linting in the dryer section
Felt filling due to pitch/stickies
Increased felt filling due to wet-strength use

Microbiological Control
Microbiological deposition
Oxidizer-related corrosion
Oxidizer-related felt degradation
Oxidizer-related consumption of wet end additives

pH Control
Poor pH control

Strength Control
Inefficient and complicated wet end chemistry
Inability to increase machine speed
Difficulty achieving strength targets
Basis weight over target
Poor strength and productivity
Dusting and linting deposition

Sizing and Printability
Low slide angle or COF of paperboard
Inconsistent and/or inefficient size emulsification and feed

Retention, Drainage, and Clarification
Poor drainage and reduced productivity

Influent Systems
Poor Sheet Quality

Boiler Water Systems
Boiler failures due to water-side deposition
Undetected boiler leaks - possible smelt-water explosion

Cooling Water Systems
Corrosion and deposition in fresh water systems

Effluent Systems
