WHAT IS THE SHEAR STIFFNESS MEDIUM INTEGRITY PROJECT?

This project will develop an on-line continuous measurement giving real-time feedback on medium integrity. Current measures of MD shear stiffness generally use bench tests like the shear twist measures.

These methods require samples to be taken, prepared, and then tested. Because of the discrete nature of the corrugating process, it is very difficult to make adjustments to the corrugator on the run making routine process optimisation costly and time-consuming.

WHY DOES IT MATTER?

Plants that do not control their processes to minimise medium integrity loss lose around 10-30 % of their box performance and compensate with an increase of up to 20 % in the average weight of a given box.
