A new iTABLE® system supplied by IBS Paper Performance Group has been successfully commissioned at a paper production facility in Egypt, marking another milestone in the technology's global expansion across emerging markets.

The installation represents a strategic investment by the Egyptian manufacturer to enhance production capabilities and operational efficiency. The iTABLE® system provides precise control over the entire sheet forming zone, delivering measurable improvements in dewatering capacity and paper properties while significantly reducing raw material and energy consumption.

Technology benefits drive adoption

The iTABLE® technology addresses critical production challenges in paper manufacturing by optimizing the wet end forming process. Key performance improvements include enhanced dewatering efficiency, improved sheet formation characteristics, and substantial reductions in both raw material usage and energy consumption—factors that are increasingly important for manufacturers operating in competitive global markets.

Comprehensive optimization approach

The successful implementation in Egypt began with a detailed wet end analysis conducted by the technology provider's technical experts. This comprehensive assessment examined all aspects of the dewatering and formation processes to identify optimization opportunities and develop a targeted improvement strategy.

"Each iTABLE® installation starts with our thorough analysis of the customer's entire wet end operations," according to the company. "Our experts evaluate everything from dewatering elements to formation characteristics, uncovering hidden potential and creating a clear roadmap for optimization."

Market expansion continues

The Egyptian installation reinforces the technology's growing acceptance in international markets, where paper manufacturers are seeking proven solutions to improve production efficiency and reduce operating costs. The iTABLE® system's ability to deliver simultaneous improvements in quality, efficiency, and resource consumption makes it an attractive investment for mills looking to enhance their competitive position.

The successful commissioning adds to the technology's expanding global footprint as more paper manufacturers recognize the operational and economic benefits of advanced sheet forming control systems.
