TotalPlant Automation System 65600
The mill installed a TotalPlant Solution 65400
System for distributed control of the 65200
papermaking process. Additionally, they

added a Devronizer steam shower for profile Before After
control. The Devronizer is the industry’s

Profile Optimization Results
Economic benefits achieved from the system 67000
application include:
66000
· Moisture target increase – 1.2% obtained
for all grades produced 65000
· Machine speed improvement – 5% overall
64000
· Moisture profile variation improvement – Before Devronizer Application After
CD spread reduced by 64%
· Basis weight target increase – 1% in
average for all grades produced.
