PHOENIX, April 11, 2005 - Honeywell (NYSE:HON) has received an order to supply two Hilcont Proweb II web monitoring systems to Stora Enso's Veitsiluoto Paper Mill in Kemi, Finland. The systems will be installed in spring 2005 on the coaters used on production lines 1 and 5. This acquisition complements the Hilcont systems that were installed last year on paper machines 1 and 5. Stora Enso's intent is to enhance both production lines' runnability and maximize the production capacity exploitation through web monitoring systems. During the past year, Honeywell has supplied the Veitsiluoto mill a total of eight systems that have shortened web break analysis times and web break durations. Coater 1 will be monitored by the new system with the aid of 14 cameras, and coater 5 will have a system consisting of 12 cameras. Both coaters produce wood containing coated papers. The Hilcont system's fast cameras monitor paper web continuously, recording the events in the system memory whenever a web break occurs. The system guides the user to find the break location on the web, and displays a memory-contained recording made at the break moment, plus the factors causing the break in question. "Our goal is to combine the opportunities provided by the very latest technologies, and solid process expertise in all of our products," says Timo Saarelainen, Director of Honeywell's Center of Excellence, Finland. "The Hilcont web monitoring system is a prime example of these product development efforts that are ultimately geared towards improving process profitability in the pulp and paper industries." Located in Kemi, Finland, Stora Enso's Veitsiluoto Mill is the world's northernmost paper mill. It is Europe's fourth largest paper mill and produces office papers, coated magazine papers and sawn timber products.Honeywell International is a $26 billion diversified technology and manufacturing leader, serving customers worldwide with aerospace products and services; control technologies for buildings, homes and industry; automotive products; turbochargers; and specialty materials.
