YOUR CHALLENGE:
IS MAKING ADJUSTMENTS TO YANKEE COATING WORTH THE RISK?
In many mills, the Yankee coating is a legacy application that hasn't been significantly changed in years. Newer staff may not even understand how it works. They just know it does, and it's too risky to mess with-particularly as market demand and internal pressures are pushing them to make more tons as efficiently as possible.
In this environment, you make minor adjustments to the Yankee coating or leave it as is, exploring changes you can make both up- and downstream of the machine that play nicely with the coating. So, while you've avoided short-term disruptions from a Yankee coating trial, you may have locked into sub-optimal coating conditions over the long haul.

THE SOLUTION:
DRIVE YANKEE PERFORMANCE WITH THE RIGHT COATING PROPERTIES
If your Yankee coating has reacted unpredictably to past adjustments, it’s natural to want to keep it stable—but that often means giving up on continuous process improvement.
UNDERSTAND HOW DIFFERENT COATINGS WILL PERFORM
Employ innovative lab testing to stratify chemical products and predict performance based on key properties associated with your process.
FILTER CHEMISTRY SELECTION THROUGH YOUR UNIQUE PROCESS
Engage in a structured, detailed operational review conducted by Buckman Tissue Team experts with proven process, equipment, and chemistry expertise—resulting in clear recommendations for coating selection.
CO-AUTHOR AND EXECUTE A ROADMAP TO SUCCESS
Stay aligned on expectations, responsibilities, and goals as you change your coating process through an evaluation plan workshop that ensures agreement on priorities and KPIs among all key stakeholders.
