SCA invests in quality control equipment at Ortviken’s mill in Sweden
As a part of SCAs investment in a new CTMP mill in Ortviken in Sweden, PulpEye has received an order consisting of two DotEye analyzers, upgrading of three existing PulpEye analyzer equipment and leasing of a CrillEye module.
In 2020, SCA decided to rebuild its Ortviken paper mill into a state-of-the-art facility that produces CTMP market pulp with a capacity of 300,000 tonnes. As early as 2006, SCA purchased three PulpEye online pulp quality analyzers with modules that analyze fibers, freeness and inserts for the paper mill’s TMP plant. These modules will now be upgraded to the latest technology. In addition, two DotEye analyzers will be installed to ensure that the pulp products are as clean as possible.
The CrillEye technology, which was once developed by STFI in Sweden and is now produced and sold by PulpEye, has proven to be a useful module when measuring the amount of crill in a pulp suspension. Crill has a major influence on paper and board strength properties as well as on bulk. As part of the agreement, SCA will therefore lease a CrillEye module to evaluate its potential for the future Ortviken’s CTMP mill.
