3. How SoftaCell™ works
•
SoftaCell™ primary function is to
find and simulate the optimum
furnish mix for different paper
grades or board structures based
on the potential of the available
pulps and fillers
•
With the help of SoftaCell™
optimal pulp combinations and
refining ratios can be found in
acknowledge of effect on final
quality and cost efficiency of the
mix changes
•
In the program it’s easy to set
limits minimum and maximum
values for all the necessary quality
parameter ranges and optimize
without loss of total performance

6. Board Optimization
•
•
•
•
The board structure can be created from furnish
mixes or from individual pulps.
All the layers can be individually optimized with mix
optimization feature of the program and the results
can be selected in the board optimization tool
afterwards as different layers
In basic version 3-layer structure in presented,
which enables working with one, two or three ply
boards
Easy comparison
•
•
•
•
Grammages included
Good exporting tools to excel
Cost structure comparison
Easy way to compare how different changes will effect
on end quality properties of the board

7. Optimize your production with SoftaCell™
How could it be done in board making as an example
In the beginning with triple
layer board optimization,
you would have a different
list of possible layer mixes
for top- middle- and bottom
to choose for
Later on you would have
modelled multilayer board
structure consisting from
layer mixes combinated
from different types of
pulps, fillers and additives,
with spesific production
parameters and process
variables taken into account
These structures can then
be optimized within the
quality limits to suit your
preferences with SoftaCell™
Cost effect of different raw
material combinations will
be reported simultaneously
with changed quality
properties

single ply boards up to more complicated multilayer
board structures.

9. Sustainability issues with SoftaCell™
Certified wood content comparison example
In this case it can be
stated that “New product”
contains 12% more
certified wood with
24€/ton less raw material
cost
SoftaCell™ provides ability for
multivariable quality comparisons
between existing and new products
with simultaneous financial reporting
Better sustainability creation with SoftaCell™ can also mean optimization
towards less used energy in processing or increased use of recycled fibres
