Audit for Starch Plants

The addition of mass and/or surface starch in the papermaking process is an essential factor in producing the highest paper qualities. Thanks to PGA's knowhow and experience, they can carry out a condition assessment for starch plants - regardless of the manufacturer. Based on the assessment, PGA suggest possible optimisation measures to reduce starch consumption and leverage further cost-saving potentials.

iFIBRE deSAVER

The deSAVER is especially designed to improve the efficiency of existing screening plants in waste paper-based stock preparations. Its area of application is in the reject line of stage 1 or 2 in the fine screening mostly. Alternative areas of application are in the coarse screening or fractionation. The deSAVER significantly reduces reject quantities and thus fibre losses.
