B2B procurement · Buyer guide
A tissue mother roll supplier needs a converting-trial log that links each web break to the roll ID, running position, machine speed, tension, splice or edge condition and a retained sample. Record stable run time as well as breaks so two rolls are compared under similar conditions. A break count without settings and defect location cannot separate material variation from machine setup or handling.
This is a proposed converter-trial record, not a claim that Sansheng has measured a particular break rate.

Reusable procurement data
Direct answer
A tissue mother roll supplier needs a converting-trial log that links each web break to the roll ID, running position, machine speed, tension, splice or edge condition and a retained sample. Record stable run time as well as breaks so two rolls are compared under similar conditions. A break count without settings and defect location cannot separate material variation from machine setup or handling.
Prepare a comparable trial
State the intended product, ply path, slitting plan, unwind direction and machine settings. Use the same operator instructions and realistic speed ramp for each candidate roll. The tissue mother roll supplier should supply roll identification and known splice positions before the trial. Retain a control roll or signed reference if the converter has one.
Record every stop at the moment it happens
For each stop, note time, roll running distance or diameter, lane or web edge, tension and speed, and whether the failure was at a splice, slit edge or intact web. Save a short image and physical strip when safe. Do not retrospectively label every break a paper defect. A torn edge caused during loading and a weak full-width web call for different remedies.
Calculate usable run and accepted output
Count web breaks, restarts, trim, downgraded pieces and accepted converted units for the same trial window. Exclude planned stops or report them separately. A tissue mother roll supplier should receive both the event log and the denominator used for any break-rate calculation. Otherwise a faster, longer run may seem worse only because it produced more material.
Close the trial with a disposition rule
Map repeated events to roll positions and compare with retained specimens, moisture and tension records where available. Agree whether a local edge strip can be trimmed or the roll needs further investigation. Set a documented repeat-trial trigger after grade, splice construction or winding changes. Preserve the original data before a credit or replacement decision.
Buyer comparison record
| Check | Record | Buyer purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Roll identity | Roll and lot ID, side and running position | Trace the event |
| Machine state | Speed, tension and setup | Separate setup effects |
| Break evidence | Location, photo and retained strip | Investigate cause |
| Yield | Accepted output and unplanned stops | Compare suppliers fairly |
What should buyers ask the tissue mother roll supplier?
- Roll ID, grade, width and splice information
- Trial speed, tension and equipment settings
- Event log with location and retained specimens
- Accepted-output calculation and disposition rule

Questions buyers also ask
Is the lowest break count always the best roll?
Compare equal trial conditions and accepted output; raw counts alone can mislead.
Should every splice-related stop be charged to the paper?
No. Document the splice construction, setup and actual failure before assigning responsibility.
When should a supplier receive the log?
Share it promptly with the retained sample, while machine settings and event locations can still be verified.
