Valmet will supply a Valmet IQ Web Monitoring System to Mayr-Melnhof Karton's KM3 board machine in Frohnleiten, Austria. The system will improve the overall production efficiency. Typically, the order value of these kinds of automation system deliveries is below Euro 1 million, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
Valmet's delivery consists of a Valmet IQ Web Monitoring System (WMS) with 51 cameras throughout the whole production process on KM3. The high-speed cameras will monitor critical process areas and help the operators analyze the root causes of web runnability disturbances.
Key benefits for the mill are faster break recovery and preventive troubleshooting with leading technology camera equipment and video analysis tools. With a trim width of 4.4 m, KM3 produces recycled and barrier coated cartonboard in the weight range from 230 to 380 gsm.
Mayr-Melnhof Karton is part of Mayr-Melnhof Group, the world's largest producer of coated recycled cartonboard with an important position in the production of virgin fiber cartonboard and the European leader in folding cartons.
Valmet is the leading global developer and supplier of process technologies, automation and services for the pulp, paper and energy industries.
