ONLINE SENSORS

Web Break Supervisor

This system allows you to find the origin of web breaks in order
to prevent them. It is a modular configuration with up to 16
cameras. It has continuous web visualization, web break
analysis, summary statistics and is economical.

DAR3 Edge Crack Detector

DAR3 helps you avoid web breaks on the calenders and coaters. It can pilot a Web Break Supervisor.  It is compact and the sensitivity is adjustable even on high speed machines and rewinders.
SIMPATIC On-line Dirt and Shive Analyzer

SIMPATIC  analyzes 1500 liters of deinked or virgin pulp per hour, up to a 2.5% stock consistency, but it can run at much higher consistencies with a proprietary sampling valve. Simpatic will not plug.
Ink Controller

It measures free and attached ink. It allows the optimum
chemical usage and overall process optimization.
F-SENSOR Laser Formation Sensor

A laser beam is passed through the paper and the unit
calculates the formation index based upon a real time analysis
of the flocs. The unit is ruggedly built to be essentially
maintenance free. Typically used on the paper machine.
On-line 2D Formation Sensor

This formation sensor can run on a wide range of paper types : cigarette, tissue, bleached board, kraft, printing, writing, non-woven etc. It can operate on  papers up to 400 g / m². It displays and stores the look-through images of the sheet ,
formation index, floc size distribution, anisotropy, wire markings and much more. It operates with machine speeds in excess of 2000 m/min and is independent of basis weight. It analyses up to 100 m² per hour.

LABORATORY SENSORS

MORFI LB-01 Fiber Size Analyzer

Extremely high resolution of pulp fibers. Fiber analysis includes: length, width, curl, kink, coarseness, shives and fines.
No capillary tubes to plug or distort the fibers. MorFi provides the complete fiber morphology without error. Analysis is complete in 3 minutes.
2D Lab Formation Sensor 

The 2D Lab Formation Sensor looks at a relatively large area (120x120 mm) and can be automated to analyze the CD profile of the machine. Individual measurements take 1 to 2 seconds. It can be used on a basis weights  from 10 to 400 g / m².
KHEOPS Print Mottle Analyzer

The KHEOPS Print Mottle Analyzer is a laboratory device that
can accurately assess the printing quality, notably a mottling
index and the surface roughness. The mottling measurement is performed on printed paper samples; the surface roughness on unprinted samples.
Board Scoring Tester 

The Scoring Tester allows you to directly control the score’s
geometry, without having to condition the board .
AIR TESTER Air Content of Pulp

The Air Tester is a very accurate equipment for measuring the
amount of air in the pulp according to the BOADWAY method.
A vacuum is applied to the pulp sample causing the air in the sample to expand.
VARIDIM Dimensional Stability Analyzer

The VARIDIM Analyzer is a laboratory equipment that can
perform a variety of tests linked to the hygroexpansivity of
paper. The system continuously measures the extension of
paper strips in a humidity-controlled chamber. Testing can be
carried out at any relative humidity between 15 and 90 %. The
unit is driven by a PC, that saves the measurements, displays
the results under various shapes and calculates the YOUNG
modulus.
  VARIMASS Hygrosorption Analyzer 

VARIMASS, like VARIDIM, is driven by a PC and allows you to
measure water sorption and desorption of paper.
  VARIPRESS Creeping Resistance Analyzer

VARIPRESS, creeping resistance of paper (in Z direction).

SIMPATIC-LABO Laboratory Dirt Analyzer

Lab Dirt Analyzer for dark, tranparent spots and  shives. User-friendly software respecting ISO norms Laboratory equipment.

LABORATORY EQUIPMENT

FRET Sheet Former for Retention and Drainage Tests

The FRET Retention Tester has been designed to study
the influence of any additive on sheet formation, especially
retention, sizing and wet strength additives. The pulp has an industrial consistency. Additives are  mixed first. The sheet is then made very rapidly (less than 1 second). White water is collected for analysis or recycling. Possibility to obtain a dynamic drainage curve, either on recorder or on PC.
ADF Dynamic Sheet Former 

The Automated Dynamic Sheet Former is in principle very
similar to a paper machine. It produces rectangular sheets with
various fiber orientations and layered structures.
Laboratory Sheet Press 

The strongly built Laboratory Press allows pressing of any handsheets in conditions similar to those encountered on the papermachine. It is best suited for rectangular handsheets made with Dynamic Former.
Laboratory Dryer

The Laboratory Dryer is designed to dry handsheets in the best
possible conditions in order to maintain sample flatness.
Samples are pressed onto a thick chromed copper plate by a
stretched felt.
