REDUCE CHEMICAL CONSUMPTION
STARCH AND CHEMICALS ARE SIGNIFICANT COST FACTORS.
With targeted measures, we reduce the consumption of starch and chemicals in your paper making process, allowing you to significantly lower your overall production costs.
At the same time, you achieve the same or an even improved paper quality and a return on investment starting from just a few months.
WHY SHOULD YOU THINK ABOUT IT?
Chemical costs represent a signfication portion of your production costs.
- Main cost drivers: wet-end starch and surface starch, followed by strength additives and other process chemicals.
- Prices and availability of different types of starch vary significantly.
- Lower quality of recycled fibers promotes the usage of chemicals to keep strength parameters and/or machine availability at least stable.
- Handling of chemicals is sometimes tricky.
HOW CAN WE SUPPORT YOU IN THIS?
While maintaining or even improving paper quality:
- Optimization of sheet formation
To reduce starch and strength additives consumption. - Patented starch cooking solution
To reduce starch consumption and gain flexibility in using different starch types. - Optimization of wire and felt cleaning
To reduce the need for cleaning chemicals. - …
SUCCESS STORIES
A SMALL SELECTION OF PROJECTS WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY REALIZED.
Discover how we reduce starch and chemical consumption on paper machines through targeted measures, based on our successfully implemented projects. Our case studies clearly demonstrate how you can significantly reduce your costs while maintaining or improving paper quality and achieving a return on investment starting in just a few months.

Annual savings for project implemented by IBS PPG: 1.100.000 €
ACHIEVED RESULTS
- Switch from potato starch to corn starch enabled.
- Steam consumption for wet-end starch preparation reduced by up to 70% due to significantly higher consistency.
- The same or even improved paper quality.
- Return on investment within a few months.
Need for dry strength additives eliminated.
Annual savings for project implemented by IBS PPG: 865.000 €
ACHIEVED RESULTS
- Need for dry strength additives eliminated.
- Formation improved by 12%.
- Formation profile improved by 38%.
- Burst improved by 10%.
- Starch concentration reduced by 2%.
- Return on investment within a few months.

Annual savings for project implemented by IBS PPG: 540.000 €
ACHIEVED RESULTS
- Sheet formation significantly improved.
- Wet-end starch consumption reduced by 12%.
- The same or even improved paper quality.
- Return on investment within a few months.
Surface starch: Consumption reduced by 330 t per year
Annual savings for project implemented by IBS PPG: 230.000 €
ACHIEVED RESULTS
- Starch consumption with the same production reduced by 330 t per year.
- The same or even improved paper quality.
- Return on investment within a few months.
