Kyiv Cardboard and Paper Mill (KCPM) chose Tasowheel to deliver new QCS and profiling equipment for their board machines to further improve the quality of their products.
These latest deliveries reflect the success of past projects, marking key milestones in a history that began in 2012. Tasowheel (Scienta) completed its first project that year with the introduction of a 9110 scanner for PM2. Over the years, this was followed by three additional scanners for various machines.
The latest scope of supply featured the 1010 model scanner (BM2), equipped with basis weight and moisture sensors, alongside a new complete moisturizer system (BM1); which was integrated with the existing Tasowheel -Scienta 1010 model scanner.
The machines: BM1 produces different types of cardboard, with a basis weight range of 130-540 g/sqm2 at a production speed of 115-380 meters per minute (m/min). Bm2 produces fluting, test liner & liner, with a basis weight range of 60-300 g/sqm2 at a production speed of 710 meter per minute (m/min).
The scanner startup was completed in Q4 2024, followed by the moisturizer startup taking place in Q1 of 2025.
KCPM’s choice to continue partnering with us reflects the proven performance and cost-efficiency of our systems, even under the challenging conditions of cardboard and paper production. Our systems are further distinguished by their exceptional ease of use.
“The impact of the moisturizer system has been very positive. The moisture CD profile improved by over 75%for most grades, and in some cases, the improvement reached up to88%with values as low as 0.2–0.25 2-sigma.
We highly value Tasowheel’s openness and easy-going communication, along with their control systems, the use of advanced technologies for measuring, processing and data transmission, low operating costs, and the continuous support provided by their highly skilled specialists,” Oleksander Glushenko, KCPM Head of Automation.
A collaboration spanning over 12 years has fostered a foundation for mutual trust based on KCPM’s proactive, hands-on approach and commitment to our technologies.
The use of Tasowheel equipment on KCPM machines, positive operating experience, impressions and feedback from KCPM specialists served as a reference point for other Ukrainian cardboard manufacturing companies in purchasing quality control and cross-section management systems.
