The new intelligent solution for pulp drying, Metris DryQ, developed by international technology group Andritz, is operating successfully at the Montes del Plata pulp mill in Punta Pereira, Uruguay.
It was installed in September 2019 as part of a mill-wide service agreement called SYNERGY, which includes remote support and local assistance by Andritz experts, with the aim of boosting dryer performance and stabilizing the process.
Metris DryQ combines Andritz’s long-standing pulp drying expertise with the latest digital technologies and thus provides crucial support for customers in achieving their production and sustainability targets. The Metris DryQ team analyses available plant data, compares it with data already gathered, evaluates the results based on decades of expertise and thus provides valuable output for business intelligence, quality management and process information. These results play a vital role in increasing the efficiency of systems already installed and thus secure high drying line performance.
