Remote commissioning for Bilt Graphic Paper in India
successfully commissioned with remote support by ABB from China. The Induction xP Plus profiler
T
system provides cross direction (CD) caliper profile control on Bilt Graphic Paper Products’ PM3 papermaking line. It was the first time that an ABB
cross machine direction control engineer has provided remote commissioning support for an upgrade of this kind. The profiler is said to achieve
maximum induction heating in the
shortest time, for reduced product variability and rapid corrections to sheet finishing profiles. The actuator heats the calender roll with an alternating magnetic field, creating heating eddy currents that cause the roll to expand. This narrows the nip between rolls and compresses the paper for reduced caliper and increased smoothness.
Board and packaging paper line started up by Kipas Kagıt
Turkish paper maker Kipaş Kağıt has started up the first board and packaging paper line at its Söke mill in July.
The whole line, PM2, was supplied by Voith with the latest production and automation technologies. With a wire width of 8,900mm, and running at up to 1,200 metres per minute, the line produces
high-quality papers with a basis weight of between 90 and 400 g/ sqm giving a total annual capacity of 700,000 tons. “Since we were responsible for the entire implementation, we were able to optimally coordinate the individual components of the system with each other,” says Kai Bestian, who was in charge of the project at Voith Paper.
It is an integral part of the ABB Ability Quality Management System (QMS), which is based on the flagship digital platform, ABB Ability System 800xA. Uday Kukde, general manager and unit head at Bilt Graphic Paper Products, commented: “As part of our mill modernisation, we decided to replace the existing ABB
he actuators for a profiler system at Bilt Graphic Paper Products’ Ballarpur mill India have been
CD caliper control for PM3 at our Ballarpur plant, where we produce premium uncoated woodfree writing and printing paper, as well as high-quality office paper from 100 per cent virgin wood fibers. “This upgrade to a newer, more
reliable product was critical in order to improve our efficiency, safety and quality by reducing product variability, breakdown and inventory cost.” Bilt Graphic Paper Products, a subsidiary of Bilt Paper BV, manufactures coated and uncoated woodfree paper and copy paper in the state of Maharashtra and has a total capacity of 670,000 metric tons per annum across three mills.
Upgrade for world’s largest BCTMP line at Dongying mill in China
An upgrade for what is described as the world’s largest mechanical pulping line for printing and writing paper has been ordered from Andritz by Shandong Huatai Paper Industry Shareholding for its mill at Dongying in Shandong province, China. The existing bleached chemi-
thermo-mechanical pulp (BCTMP) line will be upgraded and rebuilt to become a state- of-the-art P-RC APMP (Pre- Conditioning Refiner Chemical Alkaline Peroxide Mechanical Pulp) system. The fibreline’s capacity for making mechanical pulp will
be increased from 100,000 to at least 300,000 admt/a, making it the largest in the world.
Andritz will rebuild two
existing high-consistency (HC) refiners as well as the existing screw presses, disc filters and screens, and supply new equipment for all other process steps.
Andritz has also included an MSD Impressafiner as part of new chemi-thermomechanical pulping systems installed and commissioned at Dezhou Taiding New Material Science and Technology, Shandong, China.
