Valmet has received a repeat order for a Valmet IQ Process and Quality Vision system (PQV) from Stora Enso Sunila Mill in Kotka, Finland. By monitoring dirt and shives on the mill's pulp drying line 6, the system optimizes both end product quality and line efficiency, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
The new system will be started up in November 2016. Valmet supplied a similar PQV system for the mill's pulp drying line 4 in 2015.
Typically the order value of this kind of automation system deliveries is below Euro 1 million.
Valmet's PQV delivery to Stora Enso Sunila Mill features a Valmet IQ Web Inspection System (WIS) that consists of a high-definition matrix camera system and a matching light source to capture crystal clear images of defects in the sheet. Located on the pulp drying machine after the drying section, utilization of the PQV system gives the mill efficient and continuous online quality control.
Stora Enso Sunila Mill is located in Kotka in Southern Finland. The mill produces softwood pulp and lignin.
Valmet is the leading global developer and supplier of process technologies, automation and services for the pulp, paper and energy industries.
