Clairefontaine, France, ordered from Cellier Activity of ABB France, Process Automation Division, the feeding station for a new film press that was installed on PM 5 at the company's Etival, France,mill. The line, which produces white and colored papers, started up last month.

Cellier Activity was in charge of the process and automation engineering, as well as procurement, site supervision and startup assistance. The feeding station includes two in-line, self-cleaning pressure filters, type Filtercel™ LHP. It enables the production of high added-value paper while reducing variable costs.

The Filtercel LHP is designed for the treatment of high-requirement and varied preparations. The optimal filtration quality achieved significantly reduces the number of paper breaks on the paper machine, Cellier Activity notes. The Filtercel LHP is automatically cleaned during a high pressure cleaning cycle without any intervention from the operator, or dismantling works. Not only does this mean that it remains available for the production, but also results in important operating and maintenance cost savings, the company adds.
