Paper mill opts for new measurement tool

In early 2011, the multifunctional Intellinova online system with SPM HD was installed on the four wash presses at the mill. Intellinova is also in use for online vibration analysis on one of the two paper machines.

Leonova Diamond, a new portable instrument for periodic measurements, also contains the SPM HD measuring technique that can be used for the detection of deteriorating operating conditions in low RPM equipment and which has powerful functions for vibration analysis.

Håkan Sirkka, maintenance technician at Smurfit Kappa, comments: "The SPM HD measuring technique has proven to be an excellent method for early detection of bearing damage. The purchase of Leonova Diamond will provide us with a great tool to better plan maintenance activities and keep track of our equipment's status."
