Carrier ropes are used on paper and board machines to thread a narrow section of the sheet from the wet end to the dry end of the machine along the tending side. Once the tail has been threaded the full length of the machine, the sheet is widened out to its full width. A safe and efficient carrier rope system requires proper design and set up, proper operation and maintenance, and safe behavior by personnel. This course discusses the proper operation and maintenance. It covers routine inspection items, rope cleaning precautions and techniques, shut down maintenance, rope replacement (with and without the old rope on the machine), putting a rope back on a sheave, safely dealing with sheave failure, and rope splices.

The following key questions are answered in this module:
How often should carrier ropes and rope runs be inspected?The condition of the ropes and rope runs should be checked on all levels every few hours.
What should be done during these regular inspections?Remove broke or debris that is safe to remove during this check. Also look for problems such as wobbling or slow moving sheaves, and listen for squealing and clattering which could indicate bearing problems.
What is the safest technique for pulling loose tail from a rope run?Pull tails from rope runs upstream at about a 45° angle. If your grip on the tail is lost, this ensures that the ropes will pull the tail away from you, not toward you. And don't grip the tail too tightly, as you may need to release it quickly if it gets pulled in.
When preparing to replace a rope, why is it a good idea to leave the old rope in place until the new rope is ready?The new rope can be tied to the old rope, and the old rope can be used to thread the new rope correctly through the rope run.
If a rope does break and come off the machine, what tools can be used to help thread a new rope through the rope run?A magnet, magnetic belt, or rubber hose can be used to thread the rope around the dryer cans or from dryer felt nip to dryer felt nip.
