Runnability issues in the paper machine or quality deviations can be the result of variations in fiber mix, quality or refining. A uniform pulp quality creates the best situation for optimization of the paper, board or tissue machine, which is the basis for uniform and on specification paper quality.

If appropriate pulp quality properties are measured, it is easy to see correlations with other things happening in the process. With ABB’s trusted L&W laboratory pulp testing devices, you can get fast and accurate feedback about the current state of a very wide range of pulp properties, allowing you to take corrective actions if needed.

The need for superior quality paper grades that are both versatile and consistent has never been greater. Today’s papermakers rely on many sources of information and measurement tools to assist in producing a product that meets or exceeds these demands. Although there are many and varied online sensors, these are not enough to present a total and clear picture of the paper machine’s performance or to confirm the quality of the final product produced. ABB offers everything needed for quality testing, online or in the lab.
