Produce single-faced web

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to produce a single-faced web for corrugated board manufacture, including inspecting and maintaining production quality, and identifying and rectifying problems.

It applies to individuals who generally work under direct supervision and perform a range of mainly routine tasks such as maintaining, cleaning and shutting down machinery and equipment.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Evidence of the ability to:

perform at least TWO runs on the single-facer to produce TWO different types of single-faced web for corrugated board manufacture, according to manufacturer’s and job specifications and enterprise procedures including inspecting the quality of the product and identifying and rectifying problems.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

explain significant work health and safety risks workers face when producing single-faced web, and measures employed to prevent injury and/or illness

identify principle support systems on line to the corrugating machine and describe how the operator can effectively control and monitor these systems

explain which sections of the single-facer have higher potential for operational problems during the run

describe product faults commonly found during production runs and explain how can they be corrected

describe how settings are monitored and adjusted during the run to cater for the following: in-feed, web alignment control, pre-conditioners, adhesive application, corrugation, single-facer, steam delivery, heating of web and speed

identify which product factors can be monitored visually/manually, and explain how these can be adjusted to respond to problems found by staff operating end stages of the corrugator machine

explain functions that must be attended to for the wash-up and shutdown of the single-facer if it will be idle for two or more days

identify machine manuals, safety and other documentation relevant to the task, where they are kept, and the information contained in them.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the converting, binding and finishing field of work and include access to and use of special purpose tools, materials and equipment including an in-line corrugating machine.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
