Metsä Board Husum to introduce online system Intellinova Parallel EN in pulp mill

After a test period, Swedish pulp and board mill Metsä Board Husum has decided to invest in online condition monitoring of production-critical equipment in its fiber line and has chosen the Intellinova Parallel EN online system – the latest and most advanced system in the Intellinova product family.

The Intellinova Parallel EN online system is a high-performance and powerful sixteen-channel system for parallel vibration and/or shock pulse measurement. The system supports the patented condition monitoring technologies HD ENV and SPM HD, providing maximum pre-warning time for deteriorating mechanical condition. Intellinova Parallel EN offers extensive functionality and flexibility to suit different measurement configurations. High-quality, high-relevance HD data, and good connectivity make the system perfect for integration into Industry 4.0 contexts, where data quality is essential for high-precision analysis and good decision-making.

When the Husum plant installs its first online monitoring units, the installation will include a total of six Intellinova Parallel EN units and sixty-four DuoTechaccelerometers, which effectively combine vibration and shock pulse measurement in the same sensor. The systems will monitor parts of drying machines 4 and 5, as well as high-pressure and low-pressure feeders, wash presses, and certain screening equipment. All machines are considered low-speed.

Metsä Board Husum is an integrated board and pulp mill producing fresh fiber folding boxboard and white kraftliner on the board machines BM1 and BM2. The fiber line also produces bleached market pulp.
