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
