Upgrade of control/monitoring system PM2 (Figueira da Foz)

In the paper industry, manufacturers are often challenged with harsh environments. In a typical papermaking machine, the area where the process of removing water from the slurry begins, the so-called “wet end”, is characterized by temperatures in excess of 70 degrees Celsius and nearly 100 percent humidity.

To overcome this obstacle, Europe’s leading supplier of thermal papers and specialty paper products turned to Honeywell to optimize the process in its press section and increase production rates by machine speed.

The Navigator Company chose Montesi to upgrade Honeywell Express Moisture Scanner, for its quality control systems that measure different characteristics of paper, such as moisture content, so they can be controlled during the manufacturing process.

By maintaining uniform moisture distribution and removing water at optimal rates along the length of the machine, paper can be produced more uniformly and efficiently.
