Recycled Fiber Optimizer

Valmet Recycled Fiber (RCF) Optimizer is designed to control the properties of the paper by automatically stabilizing and optimizing the process variables to the most cost-effective level while maintaining the quality agreed with the customer. This product forms a model of the process data history that it uses to predict the chosen value in real time and reduce the variance of process variables.

Benefits

Reduction of bleaching chemical consumption
Reduced brightness variability
Reduced DIP Ash Variability
Improved DIP Yield
Faster reaction time to process changes
Fewer errors in process operation
Increased consistency via reduced variance between shifts
More stable process

Valmet’s RCF Optimizer utilizes Advanced Process Control (APC) technology to automatically optimize the process in terms of production, quality, and raw material costs. The solution can be utilized with dedicated Valmet process analyzers in a unique way.

The primary objective of process optimization is to facilitate savings through a more stable process operation. Advanced controls aim to reduce quality variability and stabilize the process, which would allow the process to be moved closer to an economic optimum compared to the baseline.
