Moisture measurements with organic infrared detectors for the control of paperboard processing machines - InfraKart
Implementation of an humidification system on a converting system for paperboard materials and demonstration of the system control through data of the sensor system
In the field of packaging a strong trend towards sustainable materials is present. The wider use of paperboard materials is inhibited by their challenging processing properties. For the efficient and trouble free operation of paperboard processing machines a homogenous and well know moisture content is a key. This project creates the technical conditions, which allow the reproducible setting of narrow moisture corridors in paperboard. This includes on the one hand the development of a moisture application solution and on the other hand the demonstration of a sensor system, which allows the determination of the moisture via infrared (IR) absorption measurement and is integrated in corresponding processing machines. The Institute of Natural Materials Technology at the TU Dresden is working on the development and optimization of a humidification system for inline moisture control within fast running paper and board converting machines. For this purpose, a humidification section will be added to an existing paperboard forming test rig.
