Dev Priya Industries, India, has commissioned Voith Paper Automation, Germany, to handle the stepwise upgrade of its PM 2 at Meerut, 70 km northeast of New Delhi. The Indian family-owned business has invested in an OnQ quality control system for the PM 2 test liner and fluting machine, which produces 250 metric tpd of corrugated cardboard with a wire width of 4,400 mm. A MD color control as well as a local service contract for the OnQ quality control system also are part of the scope of supply.

The goal of the upgrade is to achieve high quality finished products, increased productivity, and minimization of web breaks. PM 2 is equipped with an OnQ quality control system that includes a scanner directly before the reel. The scanner is equipped with sensors to measure moisture, basis weight, and color. Additionally, to achieve consistently high paper quality in the machine direction, MD control for moisture and basis weight were previously installed.

Dev Priya Industries was founded in 1992 and produces testliner, recycled kraft linerboard, and fluting on two machines with a capacity of 400 metric tpd. The company is part of the Dev Priya Group, which is also family-owned. Moreover, the group produces duplex board and absorbent kraft grades, with a capacity of 1,000 metric tpd.
