Sappi Fine Paper Europe has ordered from Metso, Finland, four modern Metso IQ systems to replace four aging quality control systems in three separate Sappi mills in Europe. The delivery includes a total of 12 scanners for three paper machines in Stockstadt, Germany, and Maastricht, Netherlands, as well as one coater in Alfeld, Germany, the latter also including four Metso IQ Coating Profilers.
The goal of Sappi's investments is to further enhance end product quality and increase raw material savings which, among other benefits, will also have a positive environmental impact.
The replacements are planned for this month, September, and December.
