Why Process Monitoring System Are Essential For Modern Manufacturing

Modern manufacturing needs much more than just equipment. Industries such as packaging, converting, plastics, and nonwoven production are installing monitoring systems to improve their efficiency, minimize waste and downtime to reduce their interruptions

Monarch Paper Group has thoroughly crafted trusted industrial monitoring and web handling solutions. All our systems are designed to assist manufactures keep their production running smoothly across paper, tissues, packaging, converting, plastics and nonwoven industries.

Our Monitoring and Detection Solutions

Automated Defect Marking includes high-speed sensors to place a colored or invisible mark on moving webs. This machine can detect marks at web speeds up to 10,000 feet per minute with a 16-millisecond response time. The feature of closing the loop on automatic defect removal ensures no operator is responsible for missing a mark on a moving web. This eliminates the need for hand flagging.

We also offer a selection of specialty formulated dyes to service environments from food-safe options to solvent-based solutions.

Sheet Break Detection includes advanced LED and laser sensors. They memorize and measure the color, contrast, and texture of a running web, allowing the sensors to detect sheet breaks across a wide variety of machine configurations. They are built to hold up in difficult and demanding production environments, as select systems operate at temperatures up to 400°F (204°C) and feature air purge technology to keep sensor optics clean.

Ply Break Detection is designed to identify a break or fold-over in every ply tissue web application. The sensor is manufactured to view one web surface on a tissue rewinder or converting machine and immediately memorize the properties at each roll change. The sensor accounts for every color shift or grade change while interpreting any sudden change as a break.

Edge Crack Detection is designed to detect both separated and unseparated edge cracks, as well as fold-overs. When the Defect Marking and Crack Detection are working together, front and back cracks are marked differently, allowing the defect to be counted and labeled. Our system identifies both defects in one product, on a moving web, so operators can focus their attention on identifying defects before they reach the winder.

Lane and Edge Marking can be configured for flexible marking arrangements on single and multiple lanes. This configuration allows for overspray evacuation that keeps the surrounding areas and equipment clean. This equipment can be installed across most applications, which include paper and paper converting, tissue, films, foils and plastics, nonwovens, labels and narrow webs, packaging, lamination and coating, and batteries.

In Conclusion

Monarch Paper Group has designed monitoring solutions, with its heritage brand Ryeco, to serve our customers by fulfilling all the needs of the paper and pulp industries. The systems are built to improve product quality, reduce material waste, identify recurring production issues, and create safer working environments for risky manual inspection practices.
