About Jim Patterson

ARE YOUR PAPER MACHINES HOLDING YOU BACK FROM MEETING MODERN CUSTOMER DEMANDS? Kadant Johnson can improve machine runnability and make your mill function more efficiently. Can Your Paper Mill Keep Up? Many machines in the paper industry can’t keep up with the demands for containerboard and tissue. After a dryer audit, Kadant Johnson offers practical solutions with a compelling ROI to upgrade your machine to produce more salable paper and run more consistently.Whether you’re dealing with continuously failing parts, want to speed up your machine, or improve reliability, we can help with our steam systems, dryer performance evaluations, drying equipment, mechanical services and testing, and other value-added products and services.Seeing customers get a high return from their investments and achieve their project goals makes my job more enjoyable. Reliable Components, Fast Delivery We make it as simple as possible for maintenance planners, reliability engineers, machine superintendents, machine managers, and maintenance support to work with us. Kadant Johnson employs a team that is highly knowledgeable about the equipment and processes, many of whom have been in the paper industry for years like me. I regularly visit paper mills around the southeastern and western United States, but when I’m not traveling, you can find me chasing low scores on the golf course or spending time with family.Check out the media below to learn more and contact me with any questions: jim.patterson@kadant.com 269-278-1715Specialties: Steam Joints | Dryer Syphons | Condensate Handling | Moisture Profiles | Preventative Maintenance | Paper Dryer Studies | Dryer Performance Evaluations | Dryer Management System Controls
