An Abrasives facility manufactures abrasive paper with a process that involves blending the paper product with various grades of abrasive ceramic using liquid adhesives. The purpose of this investigation is to investigate and develop a method of increasing the production rate of the adhesive paper through an increase in efficiency of the dryer. The project will incorporate a staged methodology to ensure that any proposed modifications to the plant provide real and tangible benefits. This paper details the findings of the first two stages of the project. Whilst a number of changes can be implemented to improve the process, the effect of the airflow within the duct system is considered to be a core issue affecting performance and a particular focus of the next stage of the investigation.
