Nicol-Pack Imperial to Modernize BM 1 with Metso QC Technology

Nicol-Pack Imperial Co., Russia, will modernize its board machine BM 1 with Metso's quality control technology at the Murom paper mill in the Vladimir region of Russia. By installing advanced solutions, the company will be able to better control and boost the quality of its board grades, resulting in increased profitability.

 

The acquisition of the new quality control system is part of a project to rebuild the mill's BM 1 that produces core board and boxboard. Nicol-Pack's other two mills in Russia, located in Uchaly in the Ural region and Nizhny Novgorod, already have Metso's quality control technology. 

 

"There were several reasons why we chose Metso to deliver the quality control system. First, as we have Metso's QCS in our other two mills, we are able to standardize our equipment. Second, Metso has been a reliable supplier. We have a good relationship with the company's personnel who have provided us with prompt answers to our questions," said Nicol-Pack Imperial's General Director Dmitry Nikolaevich Semikin.

 

Metso's scope of delivery will consist of Metso IQ quality control solutions, including a Metso IQ Scanner with basis weight, moisture, and caliper sensors, as well as basis weight and moisture MD controls. The delivery also includes IQ Dilution basis weight profiler actuators for a Nelba headbox and a basis weight CD control.

 

Nicol-Pack Imperial is part of Nicol-Pack Corp., which produces a wide range of board grades. In 2015, Nicol-Pack plans to produce 216,000 metric tons of board: 135,000 metric tons of fluting and liner in Uchaly, 30,000 metric tons of core board and boxboard in Nizhny Novgorod, 30,000 metric tons of core board and boxboard in Murom, 14,000 metric tons of board cores and board corners in Voskresensk in the Moscow region, and 7,000 metric tons of board cores in Novouljanovs.
