WHAT IS THE IN-LINE MOISTURE METER FOR PAPER UmiPaper?
The in-line moisture meter for paper, UmiPaper, is Marrari’s solution for real-time moisture measurement for paper passing on a conveyor belt or production line. It features a sensor with a capacitive active principle, meaning the measurement is more precise and faster than resistance-based methods.
WHY USE UmiPaper IN MY PRODUCTION LINE?
Because measuring the moisture of your material/product is essential to maintain its quality. For example: when placing paper on rolls and if any part is damp, this moisture can spread to the rest of the roll, compromising production and the final product.
Additionally, accurate humidity control in paper production can lead to savings in chemical materials, thus reducing production costs.
Benefits of real-time moisture measurement for paper, cardboard, and other cellulose-based products:
- Product Quality:
- Precision in Composition: Allows for precise control of humidity, ensuring the desired consistency and quality of paper and related products.
- Operational Efficiency:
- Process Optimization: Enables real-time adjustments during production to optimize operational efficiency and prevent waste.
- Loss Reduction:
- Avoiding Product Degradation: Helps prevent losses of raw materials due to variations in humidity that could compromise the integrity of the product.
- Cost Control:
- Efficient Resource Use: Contributes to cost reduction by avoiding excessive use of raw materials and energy.
- Compliance with Standards:
- Meeting Regulations: Facilitates compliance with regulations and quality standards related to moisture content in paper and cellulose products.
- Health and Safety:
- Preventing Health Issues: Helps avoid health problems related to the presence of mold or unwanted microorganisms in moist paper products.
- Proper Storage:
- Stability and Durability: Influences the stability and durability of the final product, avoiding storage problems and extending shelf life.
- Climate Variations:
- Adapting to Climate Conditions: Allows dynamic adjustments in response to climate changes that may affect the humidity of the production environment.
- Traceability and Quality Control:
- Facilitating Traceability: Real-time measurement contributes to rigorous quality control, allowing for the quick identification and correction of variations in the process.
- Technological Innovation:
- Adoption of Modern Technologies: Demonstrates a commitment to advanced manufacturing practices, including modern technologies to ensure quality and efficiency.
- Customer Satisfaction:
- Delivery of Reliable Products: Contributes to customer satisfaction by providing consistent and reliable paper products.
- Eco-efficiency:
- Sustainable Production: By avoiding resource waste, humidity measurement contributes to more sustainable production practices.
By incorporating real-time humidity measurement, manufacturers of these products can significantly enhance the consistency, quality, and efficiency of their production, resulting in both operational and environmental benefits.
HOW DOES UmiPaper WORK?
It operates via capacitance, meaning a sensor is installed on the conveyor, and as the material is carried by it, it passes over the sensor, and the product’s moisture is read second by second. Thus, providing a real-time moisture measurement.
HOW IS UmiPaper SO ACCURATE?
It uses a calibration method based on recipes. In short: you use the Tracker (equipment that comes with UmiPaper) to collect samples throughout the day and compare them with the laboratory.
If there are discrepancies, you can go to the Tracker’s included software and update the values to match the laboratory assay, thus ensuring its accuracy.
