The MultiSimplex delivery includes optimization modules for the complete TMP line with adaptive interactions between screening and refining as well as main line and reject handling.

“We have evaluated several different systems for control and optimization of our new TMP line. Our evaluation showed that MultiSimplex from Metso is the best solution for us”, says Anders Gannå, Process Engineer, SCA Ortviken. He continues: “Based on the results from our previous MultiSimplex installations, we expect to save 5-10 % in specific energy consumption and reduce fiber property variations by 50 % by using this system.”
