Papresa controls processes with stable consistency measurements
Feb 2, 2023
Papresa S.L. in Spain installed Valmet Optical Consistency Measurements in their OCC pulp preparation plant and paper machine PM4 to control the processes.
The transmitters that we set up at the OCC have provided reliable and stable measurements. They are easy to calibrate and work with, like changing the ranges or any other values. Also the sampling is very practical.
The one that is mounted in the sludge tank helps us to control our rejects and easily estimate the performance of our plant.

Challenges
Papresa installs new OCC pulp preparation equipment to achieve better results in packaging paper products. Their target is to optimize the raw material treatment process and reduce the amount of rejected fiber in the pulp preparation process.
They also need an accurate total consistency measurement for the thick stock going to the paper machine PM4. New measurement at the de-inking plant (DIP) rejects to measure and minimize the amount of fibers and ash going to rejects.
