Honeywell Announces High-Precision Online Paper Structure Analyzer

April 3, 2006 - Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announces the introduction of the highly accurate FotoForm sensor, a new online measurement tool for paper structures based on image analysis technology. The solution gives paper manufacturers a breakthrough new approach to analyzing paper structures that will speed up the quality control process and reduce the time spent on paper production.

Paper structure is one of the key quality parameters for most paper grades. Fiber blending, refinement, spray/line, line, water removal, pressurization, and texture processing are all important factors in the paper structure. So far, the existing single point and scan online measurement scheme is only an indicator to describe the paper structure. An indicator can show that the paper structure has changed, but it does not indicate which factors in the paper structure have changed.

Honeywell's high-precision FotoForm sensor provides extensive information on a wide range of features that affect paper composition, including variability, highlights and black spots, MD floc size, CD floc size, and MD/CD floc shape. Wait. Honeywell's high-precision FotoForm sensor is based on advanced metrics and image control technology that enables simultaneous measurement of multiple component features. These features are independent of each other and provide the basis for accurate and adaptable information analysis for Honeywell's high-precision FotoForm sensors. The constitutive sensor can also be automatically adjusted for various speeds and basis weights to ensure reliable measurements.

The constituent sensors are specifically designed for online use in environments that are not conducive to paper machines. Fast image control accelerates the machine to 2,200 meters per minute without compromising the positive accuracy of the analysis. The sensor automatically adjusts the measurement of the different base weights. This feature allows reliable sensor runtimes up to 600 gsm of sheet weight. The sensor's intelligent algorithm eliminates the effects of uneven measurements, ambient brightness and accumulated dirt and dust.

The sensor can be connected to Honeywell's DaVinci® system server, and once the scan acquires features and a set of images, the operator can transmit the information back to the server. The DaVinci system displays the latest control composition image for the operator and stores the information representing the average composition of the roll paper on a dedicated operator display for future research use.

Paul Orzeske, vice president and general manager of Honeywell Process Solutions EMEA, believes: "This new solution is a major advancement in Honeywell's DaVinci range of technical solutions for paper and pulp customers. The only sensor that offers versatile analysis, and the solution makes paper quality control faster and more accurate, giving users a real competitive advantage.

Inline Filters can be used for mineral oils, lubrication oils, non-flam fluids, synthetic and rapidly biodegradable fluids.
