Stock Preparation

Pulp to paper machine.
Chemistry controlled.

Manage pulping, refining, blending, chemical dosing, chest level control, consistency, and stuff prep — the critical upstream operation that determines paper quality before it ever hits the wire.

Pulp Furnish

Blend recipes per grade.

Define furnish ratios per paper grade — virgin + recycled + broke + chemicals. Pulp specifications (freeness, fiber length, brightness) tracked at each stage.

  • Per-grade furnish recipes
  • Multi-pulp blending with target ratios
  • Freeness + fiber length tracking
  • Recycled fiber inclusion limits
  • Broke re-pulping integration
  • Chemistry cost per grade
Chemical Dosing
Chemical Dosing

Chemical Dosing

Sizing, retention, drainage.

Configure and track chemical dosing — sizing agents, retention aids, drainage aids, wet/dry strength additives, dyes. Targets per grade, actuals per shift, variance flagged.

  • Chemical master with usage targets
  • Per-machine dosing setpoints
  • Shift-wise consumption tracking
  • Cost-per-tonne by chemical
  • Variance alerts on overdose
  • Inventory deduction on consumption
Chest & Consistency
Chest & Consistency

Chest & Consistency

Levels, flows, stocks.

Live monitoring of machine chest levels, blend chest flows, stuff box consistency. SCADA integration for real-time tank levels; alerts when limits approached.

  • Live chest level dashboards
  • Flow tracking with SCADA feed
  • Consistency setpoints + alerts
  • Stuff box management
  • Auto-block production on out-of-spec
  • Historical trends per machine

Furnish Recipes

Per-grade furnish ratios with virgin pulp, recycled fiber, broke, and chemicals. Recipes versioned, approved, and locked into production runs.

Drill in

Dosing Calculator

Real-time chemical dosing calculation based on production rate, grade, and target setpoints. Live consumption logged against actuals.

Drill in

Live Consistency

Stuff consistency monitored live from machine chest sensors. Out-of-spec triggers operator alert and auto-blocks paper machine acceptance.

Drill in

Chemical Master

Centralized chemical master with safety data sheets, usage limits, costs, and supplier mappings.

Drill in

Yield Tracking

Pulp-to-paper yield calculated per shift and per grade. Variance from target investigated and root-caused.

Drill in

Broke Re-pulping

Broke material auto-routed back into furnish per grade-specific rules. Maintains material balance.

Drill in

Out-of-Spec Alerts

Freeness, consistency, brightness, ash content — all monitored. Out-of-spec runs flagged and trace to root cause in Stock Prep.

Drill in

SCADA Integration

Live tank levels, flows, motor loads pulled from SCADA. No manual data entry; alerts at source.

Drill in

Cost per Tonne

Material + chemistry cost per tonne calculated live. Engine flags grades drifting above target cost.

Integrations

Works with everything else.

Every Stock Prep action flows into the other modules — no manual data re-entry, no reconciliation pain.
