Nordic Paper standardizes condition monitoring with DuoTech

Jan 20, 2016. /Lesprom Network/. Swedish forestry group Nordic Paper has decided to use SPM’s recently developed accelerometer DuoTech as the standard sensor for condition monitoring of critical equipment at the group's three mills in Bäckhammar, Säffle and Åmotfors.

The newly developed DuoTech accelerometer combines the best of two cutting-edge monitoring technologies. The two patented measuring technologies HD ENV and SPM HD make it possible to obtain a complete condition status of monitored objects, with exceptionally clear measuring results and very long forewarning times of deteriorating mechanical condition.

“We see a great advantage in being able to measure both vibration and shock pulse with the same sensor, especially in paper machines, because we want to be able to analyze more than just bearings,” says Preventive Maintenance Manager Kent Linné at the Nordic Paper Bäckhammar mill.

Nordic Paper has operations in Norway and Sweden with four paper mills and two pulp mills.
