FluidTechPlus

Fluid Spray Application System

The VIB FluidTechPlus system consists of a sprayboom on which proprietary, two-stage lubricated nozzles are mounted; fluid control station (FCSPlus); air supply unit and fluid supply unit; integrated process station; operator station; and the necessary system cable and interfaces to communicate with the measurement systems.

New Grades for the Paper Industry

  • On-line MWC coating application
  • On-line control for single side coated process
  • On-line sizing
  • On-line fluid application
  • On-line fluid application on Yankee
  • On-line fluid application in front of calender

Fluid Control Station (FCSPlus) is an electronic control station that manages the flow through the fluid control valves. Each fluid control valve has a pneumatic actuator, and each control zone has an integrated flow measurement and control. Setpoints are sent from the VIB Integrated Process Station (IPSPlus) using measurement system data.

The Integrated Process Station (IPSPlus) serves as the central process point for the system. It contains the integrated fluid application control in MD/CD direction, the operator visualization package, PLC functions and the intelligence to manage the total actuator control system.

Benefits to the Paper Industry

  • Increased production and equal fluid application can be achieved simultaneously.
  • Narrow spacing of the actuator is application matched to produce the desired fluid application.
  • Accurate individual flow control with integrated flow measurement for each nozzle for precise and responsive control.
  • Provides better edge performance for improved reel building.
  • CD fluid application 2-sigma improvement of 50 %.
  • MD control of fluid application of down to 0.1 g/mē.
  • Energy savings derived from a level fluid application.
  • Improved caliper profile and reel building.
  • Less rejects through better paper quality of 2 - 3 %.
  • Efficiency increase of total production line with integrated moisture control of 2 - 4 %.
