Jul 05, 2006. /Lesprom Network/. Munksjö Paper GmbH has commissioned Voith Paper with modernizing the PM 3 at Aalen-Unterkochen, Germany. To keep up with future quality demands, Munksjö Paper has decided for the installation of the MasterJet II F/B headbox with ModuleJet dilution technology. Additionally, the conversion will include a comprehensive upgrading of the existing PM 3 automation systems. Voith Paper takes over full responsibility for the modernization of the technical part as well as the quality control system of the PM 3. This investment enables Munksjö Paper to meet future high expectations on the quality of their decor paper. Decisive factors are the combined advantages of state-of-the-art headbox technology with EdgeModule system, further improving the fiber orientation profile, the ModuleJet dilution technology as well as the dedicated Profilmatic control software of the OnQ quality control system. The order will not only include delivery of the headbox, but also modernization of the technologically outdated Lippke scanner system from 1986. This will be replaced by an OnQ Scanner including a basis weight, an ash and a service sensor. Additionally, the PM 3 will be equipped with OnQ machine direction basis weight controls, coordinated speed change and automatic grade change controls. Delivery will also include an OnControl application for control of the headbox and the refiner. All data of the PM 3 will be centrally stored on the OnV Platform server as part of the OnView information system. This enables analyses, online observations and reports to be viewed and controlled using only one user interface.
