Paper Board Tissue Reel Production Using Winders Training

Learning Outcomes

• Apply safety procedures and personal protective equipment requirements for winder operations.
• Demonstrate correct setup and calibration of winders for paper board tissue reel production.
• Operate winders to produce reels that meet specified quality standards.
• Monitor production parameters and adjust machine settings to maintain consistent output.
• Identify and troubleshoot common winding defects and equipment malfunctions.
• Evaluate finished reels against quality criteria and implement corrective actions.

Target Audience

This training is designed for machine operators, production line workers, and technicians involved in paper board and tissue reel production. It is also suitable for team leaders and supervisors seeking to deepen their understanding of winding processes.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment. However, learners should be physically able to operate machinery and work in an industrial environment.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on practicals are essential for learners to develop safe and competent operation of winders. Learners will perform setup, operation, troubleshooting, and maintenance tasks under supervision, directly applying theoretical knowledge to real equipment.

Practical Activities

• Winder Pre-Operation Checks and Setup — Learners perform pre-start checks, set up unwind and rewind stations, adjust slitters, and enter parameters via HMI. (8h)
• Winder Operation and Reel Production — Learners operate the winder through a full production run, including threading, speed ramping, tension control, and reel doffing. (12h)
• Quality Control and Defect Troubleshooting — Learners identify common defects, adjust machine settings to correct them, and document quality data. (8h)
• Routine Maintenance and Cleaning — Learners perform cleaning, lubrication, knife inspection, and minor maintenance tasks under supervision. (8h)
• Emergency Response and Lockout/Tagout — Learners practice lockout/tagout procedures and respond to simulated emergencies such as web breaks and fire. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.

Where to find it

Sign in to the LMS, open your dashboard, and your certificates appear under My Certificates. Each entry has a View / Download button and a print option.
