PulpEye unit sold to SCA R&D Centre

Dec 17, 2014. /Lesprom Network/. SCA R&D Centre has bought a PulpEye unit with an inbuilt CrillEye unit. It replaces their present fibre analyser equipment, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

The equipment will be used in their product development as well as in the project “Improved fines material control” where SCA, Mid Sweden University and PulpEye are project partners. It is a project in the research school FORIC that starts in January 2015 with the first seminars.

SCA R&D Centre, located in Sundsvall, conducts mill and market driven R&D mainly for SCA Forest Products units. It covers the complete value chain from the raw material in the forest to the final products in the hands of the customer. SCA cooperates closely with Mid-Sweden University which buildings are connected to each other. SCA R&D Centre cooperates also with many other partners, for example external research institutes, universities and a number of machine and chemical suppliers.

“I am very pleased that SCA R&D Centre has chosen PulpEye as their new fibre analysing equipment,” Öjvind Sundvall comments. “The contribution of crill to paper and board properties have been known for a while but it has not been possible to measure it online in a reliable way. However, with our CrillEye module coupled to ExtractEye calculation module, this is now reality and it was a contributing factor for SCA R&D Centre to buy PulpEye.”

“Mattias Lundberg, a PulpEye employee and Ph.D. student at FORIC research school at Mid Sweden University, will run the “Improved fines material control” project where SCA, Mid Sweden University and we are project partners. The new PulpEye equipment with its CrillEye module will play an important role in this project,” Öjvind Sundvall finishes.
