Paper machine as a dynamical system A paper production line is a high-volume multi-product manufacturing system that processes the raw materials, wood fibres and other constituents into a continuous web. In paper machine operations, the fibre components and other raw materials are mixed at low concentrations with water as the carrier, a web is formed
