造纸机领域是大多数纸浆和造纸厂的主要能源消耗领域。能源的高成本使得实施能源管理和节约措施变得非常重要。造纸机能耗占其他高效综合磨机采购能源的50-70%。如果造纸机在能源使用方面效率低下，造纸厂将失去竞争力。能源消耗的减少降低了运营成本，提高了盈利能力。降低造纸机能耗需要关注造纸过程几乎所有方面的设计、操作、维护和控制细节。TAPPI TIP 0404-63讨论了监测、基准测试和优化能源的指南- 密集的单元操作，以减少造纸机的能源消耗。

The paper machine area is a major energy consumer in most pulp and paper mills. The high cost of energy makes it important to implement energy management and conservation measures. Paper machine energy consumption represents 50-70% of purchased energy for an otherwise efficient integrated mill. If the paper machine is inefficient in its use of energy, the mill will be uncompetitive. Reductions in energy consumption reduce operating costs and increase profitability. Reducing paper machine energy consumption requires attention to details in design, operation, maintenance, and control of nearly all aspects of the papermaking process. TAPPI TIP 0404-63 discusses guidelines for monitoring, benchmarking, and optimizing energy-intensive unit operations to reduce paper machine energy consumption.
