Summary
Technical position involving design, development, prototyping, improvement, installation, and adjustment of various mechanical devices used in the papermaking process.
Description
Paper equipment manufacturing engineers design, manufacture, install, adjust, and evaluate the performance of various mechanical devices that spread pulp, the raw material for paper, thinly on a paper machine, and dry and finish it. They improve quality and productivity through mechanical design (mechanical parts, transmission systems, frames), material selection, CAD/3D modeling, control systems (PLC programming), test runs, and performance tests. They also handle root cause analysis for equipment troubles, introduction of maintenance technologies, coordination with the site, and compliance with safety standards.
Future Outlook
With strengthening environmental regulations and product diversification, demand for efficient and high-functional papermaking equipment is expected to continue. The spread of smart maintenance technologies using IoT and AI will make knowledge of control and data analysis even more important.
