PulpEye launches a new module, ConsistencyEye, for faster measurements and calibration of sensors for different process streams. This method is particularly suitable for measurements of low consistency streams, e.g. in paper and board machines’ stock preparation departments, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
Today, there is no quick way to measure consistency of different fibre streams for calibration of consistency sensors. Usually the measurements are done manually, which takes time and the result may be influenced by how the measurement is done.
“The module is of interest to any mill with many consistency sensors to be calibrated regularly,” says Öjvind Sundvall, MD PulpEye. “As the consistency influences, among other things, the amount of chemicals added and the refining, it is very important that the consistency sensors always give the actual values. In stock preparation departments there are many flows where false or slow consistency measurements during calibrations may result in substantial costs caused by wrong product quality.”
“First ConsistencyEye customers confirm that a calibration of the consistency in a flow takes only 2 to 5 minutes instead of earlier typically 40 to 60 minutes for the existing laboratory method. This easy and much faster way of calibrating contributes to a higher efficiency. In addition to that, the measurement result is independent of who does the calibration, which contributes to quality secured product properties.”
PulpEye is an innovative measurement technology company, focusing on online applications and services in the pulp and paper industry.
