Board manufacturer WEIG is relying on Voith's technology expertise to upgrade its BM 6 at the Mayen mill in Germany to stabilize production quality. Voith is not only supplying an intelligent quality control system (QCS) consisting of scanners, actuators and controls but will also ensure seamless integration into a PCS7 environment.
The BM 6 is undergoing a decisive modernization by Voith in order to increase production efficiency. The project includes the supply, installation and commissioning of a customized solutions package. The main requirements include increasing dry content, improving moisture profiles, delivering faster grade changes and ensuring long-term service, spare and wear parts.
The core elements of the solution for WEIG are the measuring frames made entirely of stainless steel and the ModuleSteam steam blow box in the wire section with intelligent Profilmatic cross-profile control to increase the dry content and improve moisture profiles.
The use of the latest sensors, which significantly reduce the risk in terms of spare parts availability and their life cycle, enables the highest quality and reliability of the solution. The control of the ModuleSteam steam blow box via the EPI valve terminal in combination with the Profilmatic control software enables precise moisture cross-profiling as well as intelligent diagnostics, optimization functions and alarms.
WEIG, a recognized, owner-managed group of companies in the international paper and board industry, employs 1,800 people at locations in Europe and South America.
The Voith Group is a global technology company.
