In the face of current economic and environmental challenges, paper manufacturers are increasingly looking for innovative technologies and equipment to streamline production processes and reduce waste. In March, the 3rd edition of the Feria de Zaragoza SPaper convention will bring together industry professionals from all over to present management solutions for the entire paper production cycle – from the sourcing of raw material to post-production waste management. Previous showings attracted more than 10,000 professional visitors and approximately 150 exhibitors, according to SPaper organizers.

Instruments such as the CAS touch! Charge Analyzing System and the FPA touch! Fiber Potential Analyzer from emtec Electronic will be among those presented by IDM Test at SPaper 2023 at the Zaragoza Exhibition Center. These two portable lab devices deliver reliable data regarding the cationic demand of the pulp and zeta potential of the fibers. Specific knowledge of these para-meters helps manufacturers optimize process runnability by pinpointing the correct dosage of chemicals to add in the wet-end, resulting in a higher product quality and less resource waste. The devices’ small size and light weight make them easy to transport in a carry-on suitcase, which is especially beneficial for chemical suppliers providing on-the-go measurements and troubleshooting.

Visitors to the SPaper 2023 are encouraged to stop by the IDM Test booth and talk to representatives Iker Elorriaga and Patxi Arizmendi for more information about the measuring principles and application examples of the devices.
