Tapio Analyzers – Tapio Measurement Technologies

Tapio Analyzers pinpoint the source of variation

The Tapio Analyzer is an advanced troubleshooting and development system designed for all paper, board, tissue and nonwoven grades. The analyzer measures in laboratory conditions with a controlled web movement, and obtains millimeter-resolution data from several calibrated sensors. By measuring the exact same point in paper with multiple sensors, the analyzer can study the correlation between channels – this further helps to identify the root causes of quality variations, verify and optimize production performance, and ensure measurement accuracy. With analysis tools like spectral analysis, CD profiles, band pass filters, versatile statistics, formation analysis, correlation studies and QCS comparison tools, the system supports both quality control and process development.

Use our analyzers for:

Troubleshooting the root causes of quality variations
Profile and profile edge testing
Formation testing
Maintaining & maximizing customer satisfaction
Detecting quality problems
Increasing profitability
Reducing unnecessary over-quality and material waste

Tapio Analyzers for Paper, Board, Nonwovens and Tissue

Tapio Measurement Technologies offers Tapio Analyzers for high-resolution precision measurement of almost all paper and board grades as well as other suitable rolled products such as tissues and nonwovens.

The system can measure MD rolls up to 1 meter in diameter, enabling studies with several kilometers of production line data.
For measurement of high-resolution CD profiles, a set of 30 CD strips can be taped together into a small sample roll for high-resolution
With sub-millimeter sampling resolution, the sensors have small apertures ranging from 1 mm to 5 mm

Tapio Analysis – a leading analytics software for quality improvement

Tapio Analysis is a free and open-source software designed to help paper and board mills improve their quality and solve any production issues.

It can be used for analysis of all Tapio measurement data. The software is approved by all major papermakers and paper machine builders. With advanced tools for CD & MD analysis, it provides unique insight into identifying machine problems and optimizing production processes.

Key features:

Comprehensive CD & MD Analysis Tools
Spectral analysis tools to determine the source of variations (e.g. roll or pump rotating frequencies)
Correlation tools: every sensor measures the same physical spot on paper
Benchmarking, guarantee assessment, before/after rebuild verifications
Also suitable for analysis of any online sensor data with a custom loader

Troubleshooting and Analysis as a service

Sometimes measuring or analysis isn’t possible, or you may not be ready to invest in a full Analyzer System. That’s when our measurement, troubleshooting and analysis services are a smart choice.
