Stora Enso Imatra Mills introduced the Procemex web inspection and web monitoring system. The system helps Stora Enso to better investigate the root causes of web breaks, reduce the number of breaks and increase production efficiency.

For several years, systems supplied by Procemex have been used in Stora Enso's board machine 4 (BM4) to indicate any defects in board quality and to reduce web breaks. In March 2016, Stora Enso Imatra Mills made a system modernisation investment to improve the quality of food packaging board and increase the efficiency of the board machine.

“Both web break and web inspection/defect detection systems are critical elements in order to be able to operate these machines: web inspection in terms of the final cleanliness and the web break system in terms of production efficiency. If we encounter any problems with efficiency, the web break system allows us to identify the root cause of breaks, enabling us to resolve, or even eliminate, the problems.”

Stora Enso Imatra Mills defined new locations for cameras, together with machine operators, and, now, cameras indicate the locations where pulp starts to pile up.

The new upgraded Procemex cameras have a significantly higher resolution, defects are now classified more closely, the detection of defects is now more visual and the system is easier to configure for each user.

Stora Enso Imatra Mills is the largest manufacturer of liquid packaging board in the world. Imatra Mills consists of two mill units: Kaukopää and Tainionkoski.

Procemex is an international market leader in machine vision systems for the paper, pulp and print industries.
