Our innovative quality monitoring system evaluates the composition of paper for recycling in line with INGEDE Method 7. It provides results at an extremely high confidence level within just a few minutes, including mass flow-related analyses.

Advantages of quality monitoring:

• Online quality monitoring of incoming bales combined with suitable warehouse logistics as basis for the handling of complaints
• Continuous measurement of quality parameters on the feed conveyor to the pulper
• Short response time for adjustments in the process control system
• Produces input for process and quality control systems
• Avoids disturbances in production
• Increases plant efficiency
• Online monitoring of outgoing quality incl. quality certification for sorting plant operators

Quality monitoring of paper for recycling - goals and benefits:

• Continuous measurement of the quality parameters of loose or baled papers for recycling directly on the feeding belt
• Measurement and evaluation across the entire belt width
• Mass flow-related evaluations
• Generates input for process and quality control systems
• Short response time for adjustments in the process control system of treatment plants
• Avoids disturbances in treatment or production processes caused by varying compositions of critical papers for recycling
• Increases the efficiency and availability of plant systems and equipment
• Enables the assessment of suppliers of paper for recyclin

Measurement parameters

• Ash content
• Share of plastics
• Moisture
• Shares of papers coated with UV or dispersion varnishes
• Share of flexoprinted newspapers
• Share of deinking papers
• Ratio between newspapers and magazines
• Share of packaging papers (corrugated board, folding cartons etc.)

Evaluation results:

• Graphic representation of parameter developments
• Display of numerical results over pre-defined time or quantitative intervals (e.g. pulper charges)
• Input values for process control system
• Archived measuring data, optional: forecasted quality parameters of final paper products
