Imagine you could save a million euros a year or more in stock preparation. But not through new, expensive equipment, but only through analyses and targeted intervention in the control system. The consistency of the material flow at the refiner is the right control wheel to stabilize the process. This ensures significantly fewer plant shutdowns and higher production capacity. At the same time, you have a lever to push down the costs for energy and chemicals significantly. And all this with an ROI of less than one year.

How we proceed

We examine the consistency control, bleaching control and refiner Control. Our main tool for our service is the Metris X Controls supported by further Metris Apps for control loop management, data analytics and statistical process control. In the first step, we analyze the actual state of your production via your DCS to detect any major deviations. After a detailed check, we use our tools to change the settings so that the deviations are as small as possible in terms of size and frequency. A more uniform and stable material flow means fewer sheet breaks, faster production speed, a higher broke percentage, less reject, lower energy consumption and less bleaching chemical usage.

No empty promises

Don't worry, you're not our guinea pig. On the contrary. We have been carrying out these consistency optimizations on the refiner for years, and with success. The results of our latest project in a board mill with a capacity of 450,000 tons are more than remarkable. In the bleaching process, the brightness deviation was reduced by one third and the consumption of peroxide and soda was reduced by one quarter. In the case of refiners, we even achieved a reduction in deviations of no less than 84%!

Quick Wins

Our experience shows: Three quarters of all paper mills have a challenge at this point. With this optimization tool from our Metris IIOT Platform, we offer a simple and risk-free solution to drastically improve your production capacities and product qualities within about two months. Don't keep giving away large amounts of your money. Rather invest it in your plant - and in us.
