Valmet will supply a Valmet IQ Quality Control System, a related reporting system and a recently launched Valmet DNA IQ Dashboard to Papelera del Principado, S.A.'s (Paprinsa) cartonboard machine in Spain. The systems will improve machine runnability and the overall quality of the end-product. Typically, the 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 Quality Control System (QCS) with three scanners and related measurements and controls. With more process information available, the machine can be controlled much better than before, resulting in improved machine performance and end-product quality. In addition, faster start-ups and grade changes will increase production efficiency.
The delivery also includes a connection to the existing distributed control system (DCS) and a Valmet DNA IQ Dashboard, which provides real-time and recent history information, allowing users to better react to changing situations.
Founded in 1978, Paprinsa produces high-quality coated cartonboard for domestic and international markets using 100% recycled fiber.
