Valmet has introduced its Wet End Analyzer designed to help paper, board, and tissue producers improve wet end processes to achieve improved product quality, process stability and reduced operating costs.
With new measurements and more sampling points for broader monitoring, the new analyzer provides all the key measurements for stabilizing wet end processes. Valmet states that a stable wet end improves product quality and process efficiency through consistent sheet formation, optimized chemical use, and reduced water and energy consumption.
The new analyzer supports continuous online sampling of total fibre and fines consistency and ash consistency from up to three lines. The continuous measurements combined with the Valmet IQ Quality Control System aim to ensure white water properties remain stable and robust against process disturbances.
Equipped with high-definition camera optics and intelligent image processing, Valmet says the analyzer provides detailed insight into key headbox fibre properties that impact end-product quality. Precise morphological analysis optimize fibre blends ratios and precisely dose retention chemicals.
The company adds that the analyzer also includes oxygen measurement to help optimize biocide dosage and a new filtrate sampling that expands the analysis to thick stock.
In other news, Seaman Paper has launched a new line of heat-sealable, curbside recyclable paper packs that have been designed with the aim of replacing single-use plastic bags. The whole range is compatible with most OEM form-fill-seal (FFS) and horizontal flow-wrapper equipment, includes translucent, kraft, and opaque constructions, and is available in both flat sheet and heat sealable tube formats.
Mondi recently announced it will be supplying salt producer Südwestdeutsche Salzwerke with solid board packaging for its products including table, pharmaceutical and animal feed salt. The collaboration involves three of Mondi’s plants and aims to make sure the salt products remain dry, safe and hygienic throughout their journey.
