Pro-AC2
Profile Analysis and Control Cylinder
Innovative solution for process steering that leads to energy efficiency improvement in the production of paper and board.
Most of the measurements during production process are taken at the end of the machine. Working with the on – line application in principle is perfect solution for many improvements. This particle can influence and improve whole production loop at the end.
General benefits:
1. Increased production efficiency via shortened control circles
2. Ability of monitoring papermaking process
3. Minimization of waste
4. Enhancement of product uniformity and performance
5. Improved quality and productivity
6. Possibility of maintain more constant level of the properties during production
7. Providing real – time parameter control
8. Reduced costs
One of the main advantages of this application is mobility and possibility of fast locations’ changes during the production process.
In addition to this the construction of the device allows for mounting various types of sensors. Within the project duration several sensor options were tested, base for example on: NIR, microwave or BETA technology.
In 2004 patent submission was applied and the Pro-AC2 idea has been granted with a patent.
