[ Manufacturing ] they are responsible for all relevant auxiliary systems , from hall ventilation to roll transport , and together with Meri for an efficient water and wastewater management system . The XcelLine paper machine will be supplemented by a new BlueLine stock preparation system , which is scheduled to replace the existing system next year . Voith has supported the SCA team throughout the start-up with a comprehensive training programme .
Strong focus on sustainability For the production of paper , SCA obtains the fresh fibre portion from its own forest stands . In total , SCA ’ s forest area is 2.6 million hectares - enough to capture 10.5 percent of Sweden ’ s total carbon dioxide emissions each year . In addition , the new OCC plant has a special focus on sustainable production . The BlueLine stock preparation plant will save up to 40 kWh per ton produced compared to conventional plants . Furthermore , the freshwater requirement is around 30 percent lower than the previous production . Upon completion of the project , SCA will take a big step towards a fossil free industrial process .
Spare and wear parts package and Papermaking 4.0 solutions With their goal of high production line availability , SCA also ordered a spare and wear parts package from Voith and its subsidiary Meri . Intelligent automation and digitalisation solutions also create a more sustainable process . As the most modern kraftliner machine in the world , a range of applications from the Voith Papermaking 4.0 portfolio are used along the entire paper machine . These include solutions from the OnEfficiency family that significantly increase line efficiency and stabilise product and process quality . SCA also uses applications from the OnCare family to monitor productivity and enable optimisation measures to be taken quickly . Machine availability is also increased by digital services such as the OnCall . Video remote maintenance service . The digital portfolio is integrated on the Voith IIoT platform dataPARC cloud . “ We are very proud to have successfully set up this major project with SCA ,” sums up Dr . Michael Trefz , President Projects at Voith Paper . “ PM 2 shows how the latest technologies in combination with innovative automation and digitalisation solutions can lead to significant efficiency advantages .”
