    Z-Span 4000
Description
The Z-Span 4000 Rapid Pulp Testing System generates a set of strength numbers within 25 minutes. The pulp or stock sample is first prepared at the Z-Span 4000 workstation. The prepared slurry is poured into the Automated Sheet Former's slurry reservoir. In ten minutes the sheets are ready to be weighed and loaded onto the Z-Span Tester's feed tray. The operator initiates a test by pushing the run button. At the end of the test, the operator checks the data and initiates the transfer of the calculated data to the mill's information system.
Pulp Mill Benefits
The Z-Span 4000 Rapid Pulp Testing System produces fiber strength, length and bonding numbers that are sensitive to changes in pulp quality. Replacing viscosity with Z-Span testing allows for decreasing chemical costs, increasing yield, and decreasing wood costs while maintaining papermaking stability.
Bottom-line: Increased profitability by decreasing pulp mill manufacturing costs and reducing variability of pulp quality. Paper Mill Benefits
The Z-Span 4000 Rapid Pulp Testing System is also used to characterize pulp development associated with refining, blending and broke handling in paper machine approach systems.
Bottom-line: Increased profitability by optimizing paper-machine approach systems. |
