Maximize Efficiency: Proactively operate the double-backer at maximum available capacity and speed, in sync with the overall corrugator flow to meet ambitious production goals. Maintenance & Improvement: Perform routine cleaning (starch pans, glue rolls, etc.), identify and report necessary equipment repairs, and proactively recommend process improvements to boost performance.
