Pulp and Paper

SPM has supplied condition monitoring solutions to the pulp and paper industry for many years, beginning in North European paper mills in the beginning of the 1970s.

Pulp and Paper

Condition monitoring is a cornerstone in the asset management of pulp and paper plants.

Having control of the operating condition is a must to optimize plant profitability. Maintaining availability, maximizing fore-warning time and avoiding secondary damages are the main reasons for applying condition-based monitoring in pulp and paper.

Typical applications in pulp and paper are conveyor belts, chippers, chip classifiers, blowers, screw conveyors, refiners, pressure screens, agitators, nip monitoring, felt rollers, spreader rolls, suction rolls, yankee cylinders, drying cylinders, vacuum pumps, realers, and also electrical motors, pumps, fans and gears.

Considering the harsh environment of paper mills, SPM offers every piece of hardware and software equipment you need for an efficient condition monitoring solution, from the point of data collection all the way through to evaluated measurement data. Our products and measuring techniques are specifically developed for the needs of the pulp and paper industry.

The Airius Wireless Vibration Sensors have been a game changer for our mill. Since installing nine sensors in 2019, we’ve prevented premature pump failures and gained valuable insights into performance during different applications. Despite harsh conditions with paper stock and water, the sensors have exceeded expectations. They’re easy to set up through the CES Portal and flexible to customize, all at a fraction of the cost of other monitoring systems.
