CLEAN CYLINDER SURFACES IMPROVE DRYING EFFICIENCY AND QUALITY Dirty cylinder surfaces create many problems in PM drying section. Energy waste, paper or board quality problems and production time waste mean significant profit loss for the paper mill.
With an efficient cylinder surface cleaning it is easy to eliminate these problems. Reduction of energy costs, improved quality and additional production efficiency mean increasing profit for the paper producer.
DIRTY CYLINDER SURFACE MEANS ENERGY WASTE
ENERGY COSTS EASILY INCREASED BY 7%
Dirty cylinder surface creates uneven moisture profile and moisture profile peaks. These peaks are usually eliminated with the steam box, moisturizer and with over-drying. As a result, easily 7% additional energy costs are created.
, breaks, complaints
Dirty cylinder surfaces also prevent effective heat transfer from the cylinder to the paper web. This means decreased drying efficiency and additional steam consumption for drying, also resulting in increased energy costs.
DIRTY CYLINDER SURFACES CAUSE PAPER QUALITY PROBLEMS AND ADDITIONAL NEED FOR MANUAL CLEANING Dirty cylinder surfaces also worsen the paper or board quality. Dirt and contamination like fibers, fillers, stickies and chemicals accumulate on the cylinder surface and sticks into the paper web. This creates paper defects, other quality problems and sheet breaks. Dirty cylinders must be cleaned manually very often. Cleaning takes time, meaning production time waste and additional cleaning costs.

CLEAN CYLINDER SURFACE IMPROVES DRYING EFFICIENCY AND QUALITY Clean cylinder surface has a straight impact on drying efficiency. Elimination of the insulating dirt layer improves the heat transfer into the web. It clearly helps to maintain an even moisture profile, which decreases energy costs as there is no need to correct the profile with the steam box or over-drying. Clean cylinder surfaces also improve the paper or board quality. In addition, it enables the mill to achieve better CD tensile strength in earlier stage of the drying section. The efficient cylinder cleaning also means improved drying section runnability and higher permeability of dryer fabrics, because the dirt particles are removed before spreading to the process.
REFERENCES “ We have 40 references in Europe in paper and board machines. We have delivered EV ReDoc system to many different kinds of machines and grades, for example special baking paper, silicone coated and filter paper.”
Some examples of our deliveries: Stora Enso: coated fine paper, printing paper and liquid packaging, Finland M-Real: LWC base paper, folding box board, coated fine paper, Finland Ahlstrom: label paper, Finland and filter paper, UK
Metsä Tissue has 6 EV ReDoc units in PM 7 and 4 units in PM 5. The grade is special baking paper.
Ahlström Chirnside PM 22, UK, has 2 EV ReDoc units. The grade is filter paper.
Production has increased 24 000 to 30 000 tons/year and problems with contaminated cylinders have disappeared in MetsäTissue Mänttä. The mill has received great feedback from end-customers about better paper quality.
The mill had a problem with build up on the dryer cylinder after the acid section that could not effectively be cleaned with normal doctors only. According to the mill, the situation was certainly improved by the EV ReDoc system.
EV ReDoc® is a continuous reconditioning system for paper machine cylinder and roll surfaces. EV ReDoc -system eliminates dirt like stickies, fibres and coating colour from cylinder surfaces by using steel brushes. Even old and worn out cylinders can be cleaned effectively with the help of EV ReDoc. Conventional doctoring system is not able to keep cylinders clean. EV ReDoc -system can be used with an existing doctoring system.

Invitation to the world’s leading Pulp & Paper event May 17–19 2011 Stockholm, Sweden
A Brand New Concept: The Magic Future of Pulp & Paper! he essence of the concept is simple but important – making it easier for people to meet. Gone are the separate exhibition halls and distant conference locations as well as conference fees. Instead we have, after listening to both exhibitors and visitors, chosen to focus on the following key words:
T
Time Efficiency Closeness to Customers Power to Influence The heart of the event will be the three squares in Hall A. The squares will hold all major conference activities and entertainment during the three-day-long event. The Magic Future Square in the middle features all the key note speakers, while the two smaller squares, East and West, will have more of a technical orientation, with shorter presentations running non-stop throughout the day. Want to become a Magic Future Event Partner with the possibility to influence what goes on at the squares? Exhibitors surrounding the Magic Future square will have direct access to the event’s biggest meeting area which guarantees unique visibility and closeness to customers and activities. You will also be a part of the
conference committee as well as the project group responsible for square design. Visibility in the overall marketing of the event is included. Slot-time is reserved for you at the Magic Future Square and at either or both of the smaller squares. Exhibitors located elsewhere in the Hall have the possibility of becoming Magic Future Event Partners if they book a Magic Future Event Package. As Event Partner East/West you will have one of the smaller squares next to your exhibiting space. Slot-time is reserved for you at either or both squares. We would like to invite all companies to take a more active role in maintaining the event SPCI the best meeting point in the global pulp & paper industry!

tora Enso will, subject to decisions by the respective German corporate bodies, permanently shut down the 195 000 tonnes per year newsprint machine at Maxau Mill in Germany by the end of November 2010. Newsprint production at Maxau will end due to weak European market outlook and high production costs. Sales prices have fallen significantly while recovered paper and wood costs have risen strongly. As a result, there is no realistic prospect of newsprint production at Maxau Mill becoming profitable again in the foreseeable future. “The European newsprint market is structurally heavily oversupplied and there has been no substantial recovery in demand since consumption collapsed in early 2009. The outlook for demand is negative too. In addition, the availability of wood and recycled fibre in Germany has been limited, so costs have been rising fast recently,” says Juha Vanhainen, EVP, Publication Paper Business Area. The permanent shutdown of the newsprint machine at Maxau Mill will reduce European newsprint capacity by approximately 1.5%. The shutdown will affect about 180 of the 617 people employed at Stora Enso’s Maxau Mill. Stora Enso is working on a social plan for the employees affected by the restructuring measures. The two uncoated magazine paper machines with total annual capacity 530 000 tonnes at Maxau Mill will remain in operation. -End-

nnventia, a research institute, continues to revolutionise the paper business. Its research work has now produced a new method that will result in a stronger paper with lower production costs and reduced raw materials consumption. This dream scenario has now become a reality for many companies in the paper business. “For a paper mill that produces 450,000 tonnes of the new paper per year, this technology means an annual savings of approximately 120 million Swedish kronor,” says Daniel Söderberg, Research Manager and initiator at Innventia and the person behind the previous work.

As of June 2010, Innventia is leading BoostEff, an EU project with a total budget of 11 million Euro, to demonstrate the industrial and economical potential of the method. Using Aq-vane, with its possibilities for advanced dosage, Innventia, in collaboration with Stora Enso, a paper producer, is developing the kind of paper that is used in catalogues and magazines. “This project also signifies a completely new way of working,” states Daniel. “The starting point in the project is three existing industrial production units, one of which belongs to Stora Enso.

High-performance solutions for the enhancement of your wet end productivity MÜTEK PCD-04 ... KNOWS WHAT’S IN SOLUTION The Mütek PCD-04 Particle Charge Detector measures colloidally dissolved substances in a process sample. It is a standard tool for detecting anionic trash levels as well as for characterizing chemical additives. Equipped with an optional pH probe, the pH value of samples can be monitored and the isoelectric point be determined. To measure charge the sample material has to be titrated in the PCD measuring cell. Highest accuracy and reproducibility is achieved by combining the Mütek PCD-04 with the automatic titrator Mütek PCD-T3. This set-up is widely used around the world in: * R&D labs of chemical suppliers and paper mills * Universities, institutes, schools * Applications outside the paper industry making the Mütek PCD the standard for charge measurements. Measuring Principle The aqueous sample is placed in the measuring cell and the pH probe is inserted. Once the PCD is turned on, the piston of the cell oscillates and causes a high flow rate. Any charged material adsorbed to the cell wall will be separated from its counter-ions by the flow to create a streaming current. Two electrodes in the cell pick up this current and display it on the unit next to the measured pH value. A poly-electrolyte of opposite charge is added until reaching the charge zero point. For isoelectric point detections, an acid or base is used to neutralize the charge. The Mütek PCD-04 should always be combined with the automatic titrator Mütek PCD-T3. Benefits
The Mütek PCD-04 is also available with an integrated titration module – the so called Mütek PCD-04

viscose fibre specialities for a new approach to paper
fine-tuning of paper characteristics Controlling the quality of paper by using the right grade of pulp and auxiliary materials as well as selecting the appropriate process settings is a standard procedure in the paper making process. When the end product requires specific properties this may not be enough: Our viscose specialities offer you a wide range of possibilities to extend the spectrum of your paper’s characteristics or even add new functionalities to your product.
From left to right: Bramante: Hollow cross section in the wet state for excellent absorbency – collapsed cross section in the dry state for improved bonding characteristics. Viloft: Flat cross section for increased flexibility and softness. Dante: A further development of the Bramante fibre. The hollow cross section combined with a chemical modifier delivers an intrinsic fibre absorbency level four times higher than standard viscose fibres.
added value with viscose fibres • Our viscose specialities help increase the tear resistance of the paper without loss of tear strength.
• Our viscose specialities are produced from 100% cellulose and can therefore easily be incorporated into a paper matrix having the same surface chemistry as pulp fibres.
• Tests have shown that the paper’s porosity can be precisely controlled by incorporating viscose fibres – a feature already used by manufacturers of tea bags, cigarette papers as well as many kinds of filters.
• Completely natural in origin, viscose fibres are fully biodegradable and therefore an environmentally sound alternative to other additives.
• Papers incorporating viscose fibres can exhibit better dewatering properties.
• Viscose fibres offer uniform and constant levels of quality from batch to batch.
• When modified with additives, viscose fibres can improve the paper’s retention characteristics.
Bellini: Smooth, thin and flat cross section; high flexibility and large surface area with very good bonding properties
the viscose fibre tool box The viscose fibre process offers a broad and versatile tool box for the modification of viscose fibres, which enables us to create tailor-made solutions for the individual needs of our customers and a wide range of end uses.

• Manufacturers of filter papers can improve the porosity control of their product by using our fibres: As a result of the different cross sections available, a blend with our viscose fibres enables paper porosity to be tailored to meet the needs of specific end uses.
• Even small quantities of our viscose fibres can significantly increase the tear resistance of a speciality paper. • In a blend with eucalyptus pulp, by incorporation of 10% viscose fibres tear resistance increases on average by 40%, at an incorporation of 2% viscose the increase in tear resistance still amounts to 15%.

• A blend with our viscose specialities can enhance the tear strength of paper sheets. • The use of our fibres delivers an improvement in tear strength with an increase of tear resistance – which can not be achieved by simply higher refining.
• fibre cross section The shape of the fibre cross section is the key to fibre properties. In addition to our well-known fibres with round, flat and trilobal cross sections, we have developed fibres with innovative cross sections which are particularly suitable for incorporation into paper. • fibre dimensions Unlike natural cellulosic fibres, viscose fibres can be produced in a constant and defined fibre length and fibre diameter as required by the final use of the fibre. Kelheim Fibres produces short cut viscose fibres in a range from 0,5 to 28dtex in the standard round cross section, corresponding to an equivalent diameter of 7 to 48 micrometers. For short cut applications the the fibre can be supplied in a range of cut lengths between three and twelve millimetres.
• Blends with viscose fibres show a significantly better result in double fold testing than the 100% pulp reference.
• fibre functionality In addition to the parameters of cross section and dimension our R&D specialists have developed a number of modifications which give our fibres further special properties. New functional fibres can be realised by incorporating special additives – such as pigments or micro-capsules – into the fibre matrix; The structure of the viscose fibre is modified by adapting spinning conditions and chemical modification of the fibres can deliver fibres with anionic or cationic properties.

We operate pilot plants which allow us to produce – on a small scale – different products using our speciality fibre technologies. For paper applications we run an inclined wire machine – so we are able to test our fibres under production conditions on site. For analysis of the test material we work in close cooperation with professionals from the Institute for Paper, Pulp and Fibre Technology (part of the Graz University of Technology, www.ipz.tugraz.at) and from the department for Paper Technology (University of Applied Sciences Munich www.hm.edu).
natural advantage Viscose fibres are made of 100% natural cellulose and can therefore be easily incorporated in the papermaking process. At the same time, viscose fibres are fully biodegradable and hence offer an environmentally sound alternative to other additives.
innovation and competence For us, innovation is the key to a successful future. Our dynamic R&D team is focussed on continuously improving our products and meeting our customers‘ specific needs. Our new fibre developments are the basis for innovative tailormade solutions for our customers‘ individual requirements.

ew Infrared Moisture Sensor launched at Zellcheming Expo HPIR sensor gives papermakers tighter CD control, and faster start-ups and grade changes
ABB
, the pioneer in Quality Control Systems, officially introduced the new High-Performance Infrared (HPIR) moisture sensor for their QCS800xA Quality Control System (QCS) at the Zellcheming Expo in Wiesbaden, Germany, on June 29, 2010.
The new HPIR, a replacement for ABB’s popular HemiPlus moisture sensor, is designed to improve the performance of both new and existing ABB QCS systems. It is the latest advance in ABB’s 50-plus year history of providing innovation to the pulp and paper industry. “HPIR helps mills achieve faster grade changes, quicker startups and tighter CD control,” says Declan Byrne, Head of Sales & Marketing, ABB Ltd. Quality Control Systems. “This gives papermakers a greater sense of confidence in the accuracy of their moisture measurement. They can shift
their moisture targets so they are closer to their quality limits, which helps them save on energy and fiber costs.” High resolution HPIR sensors were developed to provide
papermakers with increased reliability and accuracy. The new ABB moisture sensors calculate measurements 5000 times per second, making them especially precise tools. Designed to significantly increase signal-to-noise ratio, HPIRs can measure moisture streaks as narrow as 4 mm. HPIR is the only moisture sensor on the market with no continuously-moving parts
and they do not require liquid cooling. The sensors’ modular design allows mill personnel to easily replace modules onsite. As a result, mills can avoid factory repairs and eliminate having to stock complete spare sensors.

EV EasyOne optimizes the first single felted drying groups Does your web run easily at the beginning of your drying section, at the first single felted groups? Do you have sheet flutter and paper defects? Does tail threading take too much time? Especially in high-speed paper machines, the first single felted drying groups are very sensitive to run. Without support on web release between upper cylinder and vacuum roll the wet web tends to follow the upper cylinder, resulting in breaks and paper defects. EV EasyOne™ optimizes the web release between upper cylinder and vacuum roll. It eliminates runnability problems that are caused when the sensitive wet web tends to follow the upper cylinder surface. Traditionally, draw difference between press and drying section has been a tool to control runnability but this often causes problems in paper quality. With the EV EasyOne it is possible to improve the web release effectively with a special high vacuum area. This optimizes both drying section runnability and draws to improve paper quality.
EV EasyOne technology includes a special high vacuum area. This prevents web from following the upper cylinder and resulting in breaks and paper defects. EV EasyOne technology is typically combined with the EV EasyGo concept combining web stabiling and vacuum roll technologies. EV EasyOne ensures: Excellent runnability of the first single felted drying groups Eliminates sheet flutter and paper defects Additional PM speed More tolerance to process fluctuations Reduction of raw material costs
Stora Enso Anjala PM 2 has ordered EV EasyOne™ runnability components and services to improve runnability at the 1st and the 2nd drying sections.

RESPONSIBLE TANK CLEANING PULP & PAPER
OUR CONCEPT – RESPONSIBLE TANK CLEANING As leaders in the global supply of equipment which uses water and chemicals to clean tanks across a wide variety of industries we know some of the pressures facing the manufacture of pulp and paper. The large volumes of water consumed and effluent discharged requires an optimal approach to cleaning. At Scanjet Systems we call this responsible tank cleaning. This means we don’t just supply you with equipment to clean your tanks to the highest standard and in the shortest time, instead we take care to find a technical solution that will use the lowest volume of water and chemicals, that will enable maximum recycling of cleaning waters and that will release the lowest volume and concentration of effluent. We know how important it is for your process to be efficient and environmentally responsible and we appreciate water is a scarce resource. In our team we carry microbiologists, engineers and utilities specialists from the process industries who have the most experience in providing answers to your tank cleaning challenges. With offices based in the US, Europe and Asia Pacific we have additionally developed sales partners with specific pulp and paper industry expertise. Scanjet Systems is the global supplier but with locally placed partners .
Scanjet Systems holds the largest range of tank cleaning machines for pulp and paper applications. Decisions on whether to supply internal or external gearing, electric, mechanical or air driven, single or multi nozzle will depend on the specific vessel application. In all cases machine reliability is paramount to cope with the intensive environment. In this respect the Scanjet experience of supplying tens of thousands into the marine/shipping market instils confidence since this is a mobile industry which operates globally with few people on board.

nder the banner of “Creating Value in a world of paper”, global specialty chemicals company Clariant will attend the China Paper exhibition in Shanghai from September 15 – 17 at the Intex at Shanghai, China. As an established leader in providing high quality solutions for the paper industry across the world, Clariant will showcase its expertise in the area of coloration, whiteness, surface & coating, as well as processing chemicals during the 3-day show. Cartabond® series crosslinkers for improved quality in offset printing and converting The series provides crosslinkers for improved quality in offset printing and converting. During printing and converting operations such as sheeting, rolling and de-curling, free particles tend to form dust, causing production stoppages and reduced printing quality. This is especially true when the paper surface needs to be wetted out for printing or converting operations. Cartabond crosslinkers offer improved wet surface strength by decreasing the water solubility and/or aqueous swelling of binders and fibers close to the paper surface. They create additional links between the binder polymer molecules, the cellulosic fibers and the filler or surface pigment particles. Cartabond crosslinkers are highly reactive. They quickly crosslink as soon as water is evaporated from the paper surface in the drying section of the paper machine. Cartabond TSI, Cartabond EPI, Cartabond MZI and Cartabond KZI are available depending on the specific paper type and printing application.
