SCA further increases occupational safety with Voith system
SCA Hygiene Products S.P.A. Lucca, Italy, has chosen the ProTect system from Voith to continue to ensure safety while performing press fabric measurements during paper machine operation. As a leading global hygiene and forest products company SCA develops and produces sustainable personal care, tissue and forest products. Occupational safety is very important for SCA as an employer worldwide.
ProTect consists of carriage, fixture and any number of traverse beams and can be operated with all available standard portable measurement devices for press felt measurements. SCA Lucca equipped all its four tissue machines with one traverse beam each and a single measurement carriage can be conveniently used for all four machines. There was only 13 weeks between order and commissioning.
"It is our top priority to secure the safety of our employees”, says Massimo Santolini, Mill Manager, Lucca. “ProTect allows reliable and risk-free press felt measurements at different positions before the press section – especially in areas that are difficult to access. This is why we have chosen this solution from Voith.”
Press felt measurements are essential to guarantee efficient paper production. ProTect is designed to take reliable press felt measurements at various positions in the press section of the paper machine while still ensuring that operating personnel are safe.
