A brief despcription of the workings of a paper machine.
I also wanted to give you an idea of the sounds in a papermill. Hearing protection must be worn at all times.

The most important thing to remember when working around equiptment like this, is to keep your hands away from moving parts. The only exception to that rule is checking the reel for wrinkles and other imperfections that can only be felt by a person, and threading. Computers are great but they can't tell you everything you need to know about the condition of the reel.

Here is a link you can use to find out about the history of papermaking from 3000BC to the present.

I've been on the Safety committee for years. I also used to write the safety paper for our Mill and I never took any photos or video that I wasnt allowed to take. This isnt rocket science, Its papermaking. You can follow the URLs Ive provided in the Video description for more detailed information about our mill and the processes we use there.

I would be fired if i posted a video of our mill. It's interesting to see how it works on other mills because no mill is the same. Have visited various mills who makes various of different products and the process is really fascinating me. Greetings from Sweden

Yeah,thanks for posting this,..I finally had a chance to show my Wife what I did for nearly 20 years. Although your machine is quite a bit smaller than the one I was on (200 inch machine). Our mill used to employ over 1,200,..now they are down to ~200,..I left almost 3 years ago,when they offered a buyout/severence package. Miss the money,..not the heat!
