HELSINKI, July 30, 2010 (Press Release) -

Metso has signed an agreement with Otor Papeterie de Nantes for the replacement of the old QCS system in its mill of Nantes, France. The project will be completed before the end of this year.

Metso's delivery scope includes a QCS system with interface to existing profiler for CD Moisture that will be installed on the 2,90m - width paper machine.

Replacement of older scanners in Paper Industry is bringing great benefits not only because of better technology and quality controls but also due to the increase risks and cost of maintenance and parts availability.

Metso IQ new technology QCS scanners require much less maintenance on site to sustain operation. The increased accuracy of measurements provide improved performance and controls enabling adequate production response to market competitiveness and quality requirements.
