Product catalog summary
Introduction
Consistency control in pulp and papermaking is akin to creating art, where managing multiple variables is crucial for achieving desired outcomes. This document outlines the importance of consistency control, the technologies involved, and the expertise offered by Metso in this field.
Consistency Control in Pulp and Papermaking
Consistency control involves managing various factors such as the pulping process, raw materials, fiber dimensions, fillers, colors, and chemicals. Metso has over 50 years of experience in consistency transmitter R&D, with more than 70,000 transmitters installed worldwide. Their range includes microwave, shear force, and optical technologies, essential for managing quality variability and process efficiency.
Metso's Expertise and Support
Metso provides comprehensive support through its global network, ensuring correct equipment selection and after-sales services. Their consistency transmitters are equipped with diagnostic features for preventive maintenance, offering connectivity through platforms like Hart, Profibus, and Fieldbus foundation.
Technological Innovations
Metso's transmitters are designed to prevent issues like pitch and deposit buildup on sensors, which can cause measurement drift and affect productivity. Their special sensor coatings increase the lifetime of rotating sensing elements, ensuring accurate consistency control.
Importance of Accurate Consistency Measurement
Accurate consistency measurement is crucial for maintaining correct mass balance, minimizing fiber loss, and improving production and profitability. Metso's TCU (Transmitter Central Unit) offers ultimate connectivity for calibration, configuration, and diagnostics.
Metso Product Highlights
  • Metso Rotary: Versatile shear force measurement suitable for various applications, from 1.5 to 16% consistency.
  • Metso MCA: Measures both cellulose fibers and filler particles, unaffected by pulping processes or wood species, suitable for high measurement accuracy.
  • Metso SP: Common in the pulp and paper industry, suitable for many applications with a wide range of blade types and material options.
Conclusion
Metso's expertise in consistency control, combined with their advanced technologies and global support network, ensures efficient and accurate pulp and papermaking processes.

The art of consistency - one color doesn’t make a painting Good art, like good consistency control, means managing many variables in special ways to gain desired results. The various surfaces on which paints can be applied are one factor for artists to consider. The type and amount of oil to mix with the pigments is another. Should the paint be applied with brushes, palette knives, rags, sponges and cotton swabs or even with fingers? For artists, proper management of these variables as well as others is crucial for gaining desired visual effects. 2

Ideal choice for all applications Pulping There are many processes between the blow line and final production calculation where different consistency transmitters and samplers are used. Although the full range of consistency control equipment is available from Metso, the most common technology used in this area employs shear force. Correct consistency control has an impact on production, yield, brightness and chemical consumption. Improving consistency control accuracy by as little as 0.1% consistency can improve a pulp mill’s bottom line. We would be happy to offer our expertise to help you...
