    The start-up of the Stora Enso Hagen Kabel OMC 5 was in 1980. The applicator roll coaters with blades were changed in two steps to increase the operating speed of the OMC 5. The 2 precoaters were equipped with Voith SpeedCoaters in 1999. In 2001, as a further step, the applicator roll coaters for top coating were further supplemented by 2 Voith JetFlows.
    As part of its consistent further development, Voith Paper now supplied the new quality control technology. On February 9, 2005, the quality control system was converted and the four coaters were equipped within only three days.
    With this retrofit, the OMC 5 now operates on the basis of state-of-the-art control and measuring technology.

    Wetend Technologies Ltd has invested during past years on development of chemical and additive mixing into stock close to headbox. A TrumpJet™ jet injection and mixing system for papermaking additives eliminates completely additive post dilution with fresh water in PM Approach system process. Additives are mixed effectively into the process by exploiting circulated headbox feed stock. The system gives considerable energy savings as well as reduction of CO2 emission case by case. Overdosing of additives will be also avoided. This results to chemical savings. About 150 systems are already in operation world wide.

    Paper mills have been long after the turn-up efficiency improvement and subsequent paper loss reduction. Our full automatic “Reel Jet” & “Reel-Jet S” turn-up system (Paprima Industries Inc., Montreal, Canada) uses2until of ultra high pressure water-jet cutting head (1,300-1,500 bar⁄20 cc per Tune-up) which run fast (2-10 m⁄sec) to their waiting position each side of the line to get the sheet expanded to its full width keeping a completely uniformed wrapping both ways from the center, immediately after the tail has got caught by a new spool with the help of an air-coanda effect of a specially designed gooseneck. Thus, “Reel Jet” & “Reel-Jet S” makes it possible to execute turn-ups failure free in such a shorter time span as 2 seconds since the issue of turn-up command via DCS until the two heads come back to their park-positions. Also, its beautifully balanced and even wrapping on a spool can release the reel part from vibration and noise related problems.
    Its sales has been expanding among big scale world famous paper machines in Europe and North America, and they are quite satisfied with its overwhelmingly nice performance to cut paper loss and subsequently to improve productivity remarkably. Hereunder, we are going to explain about its structure and performance.

    A range of new Hyper-branched products has been introduced by DSM under the brand name TopBrane for applications in paper coating. TopBrane products show low viscosity in use, due to their hyperbranched structure and high performance at low concentration, due to their high functionality. TopBrane products can be used to improve runnability of coaters and reduce the total cost of operation. This paper shows an application example on Metered Size Press coaters for production of LWC papers. Using TopBrane enables the paper mill to effectively use more starch in the paper coating formulation or apply more coat weight without experiencing operational problems like misting, pilling and spitting. Using our TopBrane products to reduce cost can achieve a reduction of total cost of coating chemicals (binders and additives) .

    The Cognex SmartLearn® is a new classification software tool set for SmartView® web inspection system. SmartLearn was designed such that the latest learning classification technology can be combined with expert knowledge of each application. It has long been known that one single classifier cannot be optimum for every material, every process and every production line. Furthermore, learning classifiers alone do not provide the best result. SmartLearn provide the combination of the learning classification technology and real-time multi-step classifier. SmartLearn dramatically improves defect classification accuracy.

    Servoarm Co., Ltd. is an enterprising company that makes the best use of its long and cultivated hydraulic and electronic control technology to develop truly useful and problem solving devices to meet the particular needs of their customers. The company’s primary goal is to benefit the customer by improving both their work environment and productivity with eco-friendly, labor saving devices.
    In the finishing process, many factories still depend on manual labor for sorting and feeding the reams to the wrapping process due to technical problems with existing systems and the high investment cost for fully automated systems. The newly developed Semi-automatic Ream Feeding System eliminates the need for hard physical work and offers a cost effective, labor saving production process. To truly serve our customers, we offer unique custom-made systems, designed to match their existing systems and peripheral devices.
    Although there were many problems in the ream feeding process by manual labor, the following effects and merits have been obtained :
    1) Increased productivity and operating cost cuts
    2) Workers relieved from hard manual labor
    3) Chances of occupational hazards such as backache are lessened
    4) Friendly work environment for elderly persons
    Close collaboration with our customers is the key to new developments, and we at Servoarm continuously strive to develop new and useful devices to actively serve the paper making industry.

  • Alkali Pre-treatment for the Bioethanol Fuel Production from Woody Biomasses

    Bioethanol fuel for motor vehicle use is currently produced from sugar cane and corn starch. However, the production costs of such crops in Japan are much higher than in Brazil and North America. Therefore, Japanese bioethanol fuel production from such crops is very limited. On the other hand, lignocellulosic biomasses, especially woody biomasses, are abundant resources and large amounts of low-cost woody biomasses are available for the bioethanol fuel production in Japan. Bioethanol is produced from the fermentation of glucose and some oligo sugars. However, cellulose, which is the most abundant carbohydrate in wood, is a polymer of glucose linked by β-1, 4-glucosidic bonds and cannot be fermented by yeast directly. Therefore, hydrolysis which converts cellulose to glucose is required for bioethanol fuel production from wood. In response, we have developed a new bioethanol fuel production process using alkali cooking and enzymatic hydrolysis as a pre-treatment. In this work, we discuss suitable soda cooking conditions for producing bioethanol fuel from wood.
    Sugi wood contains more lignin, but less carbohydrate than does eucalyptus wood. However, the xylose content of eucalyptus, which comes from hemicelluloses, is higher than that of sugi ; therefore, the overall hexoses contents of both sugi and eucalyptus are similar. In the present study, a relationship was investigated between the lignin contents and the enzymatic digestibility of sugi soda pulps. As the lignin content decreased, the enzy-matic digestibility increased. However, the enzymatic digestibility of pulps reached mostly 100% without complete lignin removal. Delignification was improved and the pulp yields were increased by the addition of1, 4-dihydro-9, 10-dihydroxyanthracene disodium salt (AQ) to the soda cooking. Soda cooking with AQ around H-Factor (HF) 3,000 were the best conditions for alkali pre-treatment of sugi for bioethanol fuel production. On the other hand, soda cooking with AQ around HF 350 were the best conditions for eucalyptus.
