The Challenge
Preventing air contamination during a scheduled shutdown
A specialty, waterproof, synthetic paper manufacturer needed to perform scheduled maintenance on in-house equipment, but doing so would require the facility to completely shutdown production.
The slightest change to air conditions would ruin the rolling and cutting process — but operations couldn’t pause, or it would result in a significant revenue loss for the customer and not to mention delayed shipment schedule.
The team needed a reliable way to keep pumping oil-free, dry air into the plant without stopping production.
