The French Technical Association of Paper Industry (ATIP) has awarded its traditional Innovation Trophees during a Gala dinner which took place in Grenoble on November 20. This year, the winners are :
• Gold : ACA (represented by Fanel Solutions in the French market). ACAV AX 100 is a new Viscometer for Optimum Coater Runnability. This High Shear Viscometer is a easy to use instrument for analysing the viscosity of coating materials. ACA AX-100 uses a piston driven mechanical principle to provide complete and precise shear rate analysis. It enables fast and easy shear rate dependent viscosity measurement. It also offers very high correlation to coater runnability. In addition, it is a reliable tool for raw material quality control, coating defect diagnostics and coating development colors.
• Silver : Valmet (Polarized forming fabrics). In the polarized structure, the machine direction yarns on both the paper side and the roll side are shifted to form an off-stacked structure. This special structure removes the direct drainage channels traditionally used in forming fabrics. Polarized structure improves the machine runnability and performance.
• Bronze : LGP2 (PaperTouch). New way to produce paper sheets with electronic functions in paper stuff whithout need for adhesive. This process is patented.
Full coverage will be published in the next issue of “La Papeterie Magazine”.
