Nuclear free basis weight now available for paper

Successfully used to determine basis weight on hundreds of tissue machines, the Valmet IQ Fiber Measurement has been further developed for applications in the production of heavier paper grades.The scanner mounted Valmet IQ Fiber sensor, a key component of the QCS, met Brandia’s need for a basis weight sensor without a radioactive source.

Improving machine vision performance at tissue mills through better use of data

How can data be used to improve efficiency in tissue making? Traditionally, information from the processes has often been siloed. Bringing all the data to one place provides a solid starting point for efficiency improvements and makes the production line more intelligent.

Tips for troubleshooting your roll grinding application

A list of common problems incurred in roll grinding applications and their possible causes. Often, several conditions accumulate to create the problem.

Headbox case study – Overcoming newsprint mill speed limit

The mill was concerned about speed limitations due to the current headbox status. They asked Valmet to diagnose the situation and recommend a course of action.

Reel audit leads to increased tonnage on fine paper machine

Audit recommendations included replacing a carrying roll with a driven bowed spreader roll. This decreased broke due to winkles, adding 18 tons/day production.

Coater service case study - Removing OMC coating buildup

Valmet assisted in cleaning the blade holders, replacing the cross machine coater station profile strips and adjusting a return pan to reduce color leaks.

Keep your machine calender in tune with changing production

For many grades, the machine calender is the last chance to affect sheet properties. Production variations can reduce the effectiveness of a machine calender.
