Checking the quality of recovered paper
Monitor®: the probe that instantly quantifies moisture and impurity contents
- Checking the quality of your bales of recovered paper and board
- Analysing the composition of recovered paper bales on receipt
- Checking the conformity of grades with your specifications and/or standard EN 643
- Quantifying moisture and impurity contents (plastics, etc.)
- Using near infrared technology to inspect your bales from the inside
Generate Value...
- Quickly quantify the moisture and impurity contents inside bales of recovered paper to ensure the quality of your raw materials.
- Check the material on receipt: accept or refuse deliveries before they are unloaded or used and guarantee their conformity.
- Save time: quantify moisture and impurity contents in less than five minutes.
- Guarantee supplies: carry out systematic inspections to consolidate your list of suppliers.
- Save money: only pay for cellulosic fibre.
- Reducing the moisture content in recovered paper and board bales by 1% at a site producing 200,000 t/year, i.e. 2000 tonnes of water, is equivalent to saving tens of thousands of euros.
Sites already equipped with Monitor® have enjoyed a return on investment within 3-6 months. Don’t wait any longer! Call the CTP for a site test and you will be convinced by the performance of Monitor®!
Monitor® : instant check even before the truck is unloaded
Context and performance
The CTP’s team visits your site with a portable version of Monitor® and a perforator adapted to make holes in recovered paper bales. The measuring head is then introduced into each hole to provide an instant near infrared spectroscope reading of the:
- moisture content,
- impurity content,
- mineral filler content,
- lignin content
At the same time, standard laboratory procedures are applied to measure the same characteristics.
By comparing the instant Monitor® measurements with the much longer and more complex laboratory measurements, it is possible to:
- study the variability of your raw material,
- estimate the potential economic savings that can be made with this type of inspection.

Content of services
Several bales are tested per day, depending on their density. A relevant statistical study requires 3-4 full days’ presence on site.
On request, we can demonstrate how the machine is used and make a technical presentation of the principle behind it.

Delivrables
The CTP provides a complete study report giving:
- the results obtained (moisture content, impurity content, etc.) per batch, supplier or type of raw material,
- a technical description of the Monitor® probe,
- conclusions with regard to the potential benefits and return on investment (subject to having access to certain economic data concerning the site),
- the contact details for our subsidiary TechPap, which markets the device, should you wish to purchase one.
