Forte

 

Forté Series 8000 Pulp Bale Moisture/Weight Measuring Systems 

measure the average moisture of every bale of pulp. The measurement is made automatically, in real time – in the bale press – while it is still being produced and not hours after lenghty drying procedures. The Forté computer-controlled moisture/weight measurement produces a complete production record including: Time, Grade, Bale Number, Gross Weight, % Air-Dry (Moisture), Air-Dry Commercial Weight, Basis Weight, and QC-Data from the Forté DataLog®. Forté provides a comprehensive pulp production record.

In addition, Forté Systems can control the Bale-Marker, can display profiles of % AD and Bale Weight with the Profilog®, can output to DCS, remote displays, and other peripherals, and can be connected to mill-network and control Lay-boy Drop.

How the Forté System works
The secret of each Forté System is in its electrode system. The Forté electrode passes a harmless, low-power electronic field through your entire bale. In the bale press system, the electrode is attached to the bale press platen. For non-press measurement of bales, and rolls, the electrodes are mounted adjacent to the conveyer. This exclusive patented 2-step measurement is self-zeroing and virtually instantaneous.
The Forté computer receives the electronic moisture reading and the digital bale weight input to calculate and tabulate your production automatically, every time a bale is produced. The weighing station may be located either before or after the moisture measurement is taken. For each lot, the computer calculates and prints the total tonnage and average moisture, resulting in comprehensive management information.

Forté designs and installs complete systems for multiple Cutter/Layboy, multiple finishing lines. A Forté System is the key to precise accounting for every kilogram or pound of pulp produced in your mill.
Forté also offers custom-programming for warehousing and inventory control, with bar-coding for warehouse tracking, inventory control, and integration into your factory network.
