Swedish specialty paper mill Nordic Paper Åmotfors in Värmland continues its investment in condition monitoring equipment from SPM and is now expanding the existing online vibration monitoring system on paper machine PM6 with additional measurement points, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
In a first step, the paper mill invests in sixty-six DuoTech accelerometers, combining vibration and shock pulse measurement with the patented HD ENV and SPM HD technologies and giving maximum early warning for deteriorating mechanical condition.
The HD technologies provide clear and easy-to-interpret measurement results from a very early stage of damage development, providing optimal conditions for planned maintenance.
The new measurement points are connected to the Intellinova online system, equipped with vibration modules. Installation of the system will take place during a planned maintenance stop this summer.
Nordic Paper Åmotfors produces 48,000 tons of unbleached custom-made kraft paper annually on paper machines PM1 and PM6.
