SCA is successfully utilizing Voith's digital and automation solutions with the aim of optimizing the production efficiency of its new XcelLine PM 2. Last year, the leading full-line supplier Voith successfully commissioned the paper machine at its Obbola site. The high-performance machine produces 725,000 tons of kraftliner annually with basis weights between 100 and 200 gsm and has a design speed of 1,400 meters per minute.

  • SCA uses digitalization and automation solutions from the Papermaking 4.0 portfolio of Voith and BTG across the entire paper machine
  • In addition, Voith works closely with SCA after installation as part of an Efficiency Partnership
  • Solutions lead to significant resource savings in paper production

“The journey for SCA and Voith together has only just begun,” says Gustaf Nygren, Mill Manager Obbola at SCA. “We have a long-term partnership in place with the target of reaching the common vision of PM 2 in Obbola becoming the new reference for safety, efficiency and digitalization.”

To achieve its goals, SCA is using more than 10 innovative digitalization and automation solutions across the entire paper machine from the Papermaking 4.0 portfolio of Voith and its subsidiary. For example, solutions from the OnEfficiency family help increase line efficiency and stabilize product and process quality. The increased efficiency also contributes to more sustainable and resource-saving paper production. SCA also uses applications from the OnCare family to monitor productivity and take optimization measures quickly.

Machine availability is further increased by digital services such as the OnCall.Video remote maintenance service. The Voith Paper Webshop enables fast ordering of spare and wear parts as well as services. The digital portfolio is made available on Voith’s IIoT dataPARC cloud platform, which is characterized by the highest security standards.

“With the PM 2, we will take our next steps in the digitalization journey. The applications provided by Voith will help us to monitor the process and make the right decisions,” confirms Niclas Ahnmark, Paper Mill Manager at SCA.

SCA has also signed a long-term service agreement with Voith subsidiary BTG for process control. BTG's Lifecycle program ensures optimal consistency accuracy and control by providing preventive maintenance services for the entire consistency sensors install base, including regular calibration and routine checks. BTG Field Service Engineers assist in the planning, implementation and coordination of the various maintenance services, maximizing machine uptime and stability while maintaining SCA's high safety standards.

The collaboration with SCA is long-term and is particularly evident through the Efficiency Partnership. Throughout the process, the teams work closely together to ensure that the solutions are used optimally. Stephan Sicking, Vice President Sales FRS EMEA at Voith Paper, explains, "As part of a digitalization roadmap, we have defined common goals and KPIs in a cross-functional team, developed a customized concept and are now providing support for successive installation and employee training. Already, the benefits from this collaborative approach are clearly demonstrated." Learn more on our Voith website: Containerboard mill Obbola PM 2 | Voith

New BTG Service Center in Hyderabad, India

BTG Instruments – Committed to India

The Indian paper industry is an exciting place to be. With sustained GDP growth and a developing middle class, the demand for pulp and paper products in India is expected to grow at about 5.5% pa.

BTG is well-positioned to deliver solutions to this unique market. A key productivity driver is improved process control, and BTG Instruments have a strong team and comprehensive product portfolio to support this. BTG’s commitment to India is demonstrated by the opening of a new Service Center in Hyderabad in October. At the new facility BTG will provide full product repair, upgrade, service and training support to the growing number of local customers. Information on training programs planned will be available soon.

BTG sensors and analyzers have been installed on many new projects in India to complement a large, existing installed base. BTG engineers are pleased to discuss new solutions or upgrades for customer sites. A cost-effective consistency measurement, suitable for the lower grade recycled fiber used in many machines, the ACT-2500 provides excellent sensitivity in low shear force pulp. DIP yield optimization is a key KPI, and our TCR-series of optical total consistency transmitters, based on our Peak method, are ideal solutions for inline measurement of total consistency and ash in thick stock. The Mütek Particle Charge Detector is the benchmark for charge measurement at the paper machine and our wet end suite of laboratory analyzers are complimented by zeta potential, drainage, retention and freeness measurement.

The paper industry in India has a bright future and BTG is growing with it.

BTG Instruments welcomes visitors to stall no. E07 at Paper+ 2012, Codissia Trade Fair Complex, Coimbatore, India from November 24 – 26, 2012.

We will also be giving a paper at the conference:  “Unlock your tissue machine profit potential”. It will be co-presented by our Tissue Applications specialist Ian Padley and our Chinese Tissue Specialist Steven Ma. In this paper, BTG will first define the standard measurement to determine actual creping efficiency of a tissue machine and review the real-life potential which should be achieved.

The paper goes on to describe the methods by which high-performance creping can be achieved, which include elements of technology and operations:

  • Operating strategies for high-performance creping
  • The critical success factors for making higher bulk at low crepe ratio for higher productivity
  • How high-performance creping can reduce machine downtime.

Finally, we review some short case histories where clients assisted by BTG have been able to implement strategies to achieve the high crepe efficiency needed to maximize tissue machine profit potential.

BTG’s Instruments division recently opened a Service Center in Shanghai’s Xingzhuang Industrial Park district to enhance support for its growing number of Chinese customers, staffed by experienced BTG service engineers handling inside and outside service, spare part requests and all application and sales inquiries.

Visit booth 740 to discuss how we can help you improve your bottom line:

* Reduced fiber costs, reduced consumable costs, improved tissue machine uptime and converting plant yield:  all of these are possible through the application of the industry's most widely used particle charge detector, zeta potential measurement and our highly efficient equipment for the evaluation of retention aids.

* Web breaks, edge build-up, flying sheet:  to significantly reduce these production constraints we introduce our fines management concept based on new generation optical consistency transmitters for fiber, ash and fines.

* Bulk improvement, improved fiber yield, enhanced softness and consistent quality:  all possible thanks to our range of high-performance creping doctors and our unique creping blade holder, which allows for independent adjustment of linear load and creping pocket angle - while running!

* Our collaborative project approach to tissue mill economic enhancement (TTC, Total Tissue Capability) drawing on a comprehensive package of equipment, specialist know-how and consumables - all geared to optimizing your tissue operation

We will be presenting a joint paper with ICT in the Yankee Forum on the 20th and in Session 3 on the 21st on how ICT Iberica and BTG managed to reduce operational costs related to blade chatter.
