Optical determination of recovered paper composition – Recovered Paper Monitor (RCP Monitor)

This innovative optical system evaluates the composition of your recovered paper with a high degree of statistical certainty based on the INGEDE Method 7

With an effective measuring width of 100 cm, the system can be installed for both loose goods and bales on almost any infeed conveyor for short-term inspections or continuous operation, and allows mass flow-based evaluation at typical conveyor speed. Together with our partner RTT (RTT Robotertechnik-TRANSFER GmbH) in Zittau, a flexible, robust and safe overall system was developed, that combines proven NIR and visual camera technology and brings it together in tried-and-tested evaluation routines. A lift controlled by a laser belt occupancy sensor ensures that the system always maintains a consistent distance in the depth of field of the cameras, regardless of the loading height of the infeed belt.

Advantages and benefits

  • Continuous determination of the recovered paper quality
  • Evaluation related to the mass flow
  • Provision of the values for the process and quality control system
  • Early reaction in the recovered paper infeed and in the process control of the preparation system
  • Avoidance of disruptions in preparation or production due to fluctuating critical recovered paper compositions
  • Increase in plant efficiency
  • Evaluation of the recovered paper suppliers
