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.

"We are happy that the customer acknowledges us as the technology leader in the pulp and paper industry and as the supplier of the best QCS solution on the market. Our moisture management concept is unique. Valmet's reporting solution and strong local service played a crucial role in the customer's decision-making. Now, we will develop the reporting concept further with Paprinsa. We are really looking forward the cooperation," says Javier Navas, Sales Manager, Automation, Valmet.

Information about Valmet's delivery

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.

The comprehensive Valmet IQ Reporting package consists of jumbo roll and customer roll reporting and management of laboratory data. With the help of reporting and laboratory data management, the mill operators can follow and control the paper quality and production online, as well as from a history point of view. With the help of the Valmet DNA Roll Monitoring tool, mill operators can easily access any customer roll quality data to confirm quality information for customer orders, if needed.
