Vancouver, Canada (16 January 2018) – Papertech Inc. has entered into an agreement with Holmen Paper AB to deliver a new TotalVision™ WebInspector® WIS system to their Braviken Paper mill in Norrköping, Sweden. Papertech’s European Business Manager, Mr. Seppo Toivonen, was on hand January 8th to sign the purchase agreement with Ms. Elin Björkholm from the Finance and Purchasing office at the Braviken mill.
The WebInspector web inspection system (WIS) will be installed on the mill’s PM53, which is Holmen Paper’s flagship paper machine. PM53 is 9000 mm wide and produces SC and various specialty printing grades at up to 1900 m/min. The WebInspector® WIS will upgrade the existing Cognex (Ametek) SmartView WIS. The new WIS will be integrated with the existing Papertech WebVision® web monitoring system (WMS). The resulting TotalVision™ fully integrated WMS + WIS system will offer accurate defect root cause analysis right to the wet-end. This will allow defect causes to be eliminated and overall machine efficiency and product quality to be further improved.
Also included in the TotalVision supply will be Papertech’s AccuStop™ stop-on-defect winder automation system for the two slitter winders, RM5 and RM6. Furthermore, full width formation and dirt count analysis is included to continuously monitor the Formation Index and Dirt Count to ensure product quality is optimized. All analysis data will be transmitted to the millwide MOPS management system.
