have Metso’s quality control technology. “There were several reasons
why we chose Metso to deliver the quality control system,” said Nicol-Pack Imperial’s General Director Dmitry Nikolaevich Semikin. “First, as we have Metso’s QCS in our other two mills, we are able to standardize our equipment. Second, Metso has been a reliable supplier. We have a good relationship with the company’s personnel who have provided us with prompt
answers to our questions.” The Metso order comprises IQ quality control solutions, including an IQ Scanner with basis weight, moisture and caliper sensors, as well as basis weight and moisture MD controls.

of Nicol-Pack Corporation, which produces a wide range of board grades.

Successful start up for Czech paper making line
Mondi Štětí in the Czech Republic has successfully started up its new PM7 paper machine. Installed by Andritz, the machine will produce mostly packaging paper grades.
A second tissue line has been started up at Ganzhou Hwagain Paper in China. The TM2 PrimeLine production line was supplied by Andritz, which also supplied the tissue maker’s TM1 line. For the installation of TM2 Andritz supplied the stock preparation plant for softwood, hardwood, and
bamboo pulp; a two-layer headbox with dilution control system; a shoe press; the wet dust removal system; a reel system; and the machine automation system. The shoe presses supplied for both of Ganzhou Hwagain Paper’s tissue machines provide a higher after-press dryness, which reduces
drying requirements and lowers energy costs or allows the mill to increase production levels at the same thermal energy consumption. The raw fibre consumption is also reduced, thus enabling the customer to achieve the same product quality using lower-cost fibres.
In addition to supplying a new headbox (PrimeFlow SW) with PrimeProFiler dilution control, a new shoe press module was added in the press section to create a three-nip press with shoe press (PrimePress Trix) for efficient dewatering. A new micro-creping unit (PrimeUnit MC), a new PrimeCal X shoe calender for high smoothness, and a new rewinder were also installed. The dryer section was split into a pre- and an after-dryer section, including a new complete hood.
