MONITOR
The solution for real time control of the recovered paper bales quality
Mills are facing increasing need to control at receipt & in a systematically way their supply in recovered fibers.
The waste paper bale contamination has been leading to increasing costs for mills in terms of direct cost through increase of dumping of materials cost but also indirectly through loss of fibers and energy cost.
The control of
Moisture content (Hr%)
Indesirable contaminant (such as plastic, metal,...)
Paper quality according to norm EN 643 (1.04,1.05, etc..)
are mainly made manually and take a long time with unsatisfactory results
MONITOR, the device developed by CTP Grenoble, allows you a instantaneous,
reliable and automatic control with a quick return on investment (ROI)
- Main advantages
- Instant analysis and immediate result display
- Easy installation on existing core drilling machine
- No manual handling or drilling
- Analysis independant from operators: drilling is always operated in the same conditions
- Analysis is done at constant speed for a good results repeatability.
- No operator needed to run the sensor.
- A very quick return on investment
- The MONITOR system offers a return on investment of only a few months
- For a papermill using 400 000 tons of recovered paper per year, with an average cost of recovered papers of 60€/ton and contaminant managing of 90€/ton.
- If the moisture rate is fixed at 10%, and 1% for contaminants, a measurement with MONITOR that gives an average rate of 11,2% moisture and 1,7% contaminants, will reveal fiber loss:
- 4 800 tons due to water
- 2 800 tons due to contaminants, (fiber loss and waste managing loss)
- Result : 708 000 € per year overcost, that can be prevented by MONITOR
