Södra Cell, the leading market pulp producer in Europe, has on-line measurements of fiber properties installed in
all production lines in the four Scandinavian mills for production of bleached chemical pulp. The main purposes
for the installations were to secure the quality delivered to the customers by more frequent tests of quality, by
new important fiber properties and by control of transitions in the mill. The system is also used for quality
optimization of wood supply and process. L&W STFI Fibermaster from Lorentzen-Wettre is a platform for pulp
quality measurements. Measured properties are fiber length, width, shape factor, fines, coarseness, bendability,
shives and freeness. The new technology admits new and more frequent measurements of pulp quality.
