In addition, OnQ ModuleTap actuators for control of the existing dilution water headbox are included in the automation package to attain optimal basis weight CD profiles. The OnQ Profilmatic control software ensures that constantly high paper quality can be produced.

Moreover, Voith delivers several MD controls such as multi-layer control and jet-wire ratio control. The highlight is the OnQ GradeManager: grade change time can be substantially improved with automatic grade change. Thus, it is possible for papermakers at the PM 2 to both flexibly meet customer requirements and at the same time to efficiently produce.

Maik Willig, General Manager at Rondo Ganahl AG Frastanz, commented on placement of the order with Voith as follows: "We chose Voith as our automation partner because the solution offered provides complete integration of the Voith quality control system into our existing process control system. We thus have a uniform and integrated operating and engineering interface for the future. Since the whole project runs in familiar programs and language, we have additional assurance that we chose the right partner."

Rondo Ganahl AG has its headquarters in Frastanz, Austria, a town rich in tradition within the state of Vorarlberg. High-quality test liner grades (white, mottled, brown) are produced at the modern paper mill on the basis of 100 % recovered paper. The ideally equipped corrugated board plant produces transport and sales packaging in almost any desired specification. Corrugated board in the basis weight range of 120-200 g/m² is produced on the PM 2. With a machine speed of up to 900 m/min and a wire width of 2,720 mm, on average 300 tons of testliner per day are produced.
