The following key questions are answered in this module:
What is a line shaft drive system?A line shaft system uses one prime mover to power the whole machine instead of a different one for each section
What is draw?Draw is the speed difference between two adjacent sections of the paper machine
What are the types of line shaft drives?There are two main types of line shaft drives: cone pulley drives and non-pulley direct drives. In both types, power is transmitted the length of the machine by a line shaft running parallel to the machine.
What is a helper drive?Helper drives are electric motors installed on some parts of the machine to supply auxiliary driving energy
How are line shaft drives started up?First, the line shaft drive is accelerated with all the machine sections unclutched or disconnected. Then, one by one, each section is accelerated up to speed by engaging or closing the section clutch.
