This software helps to simulate all or any section or equipment of paper, pulp and board plant and optimize its effectiveness. It has about 580 special objects tailored for this paper and pulp technology. It is the work horse for the specialist engineers and paper experts working to improve the manufacturing or other operations. It is very easy to learn and one can model any system in the plant. It is infinitely customizable if needed at all, since source code is open for programmers.

Its capability includes but not limited to, simulating chemical and mechanical pulping process, paper machine, paperboard machine, paper and board specifications, economics, mass balance, energy balance, water balance etc.

Competitive pressures are increasingly being felt. Hence mills are called upon to improve the efficiency and overall production in spite of the increase in range of products from available raw materials and their quality constraints. In addition, the mills are subject to stringent environmental regulations and the compulsion to go green is great.

Under these circumstances, mills are looking for innovative engineering and management solutions that decrease the costs as well. Managements could well look into "Reengineering the manufacturing" system to achieve some of these objectives. Simulation models are the only method to prove the effectiveness of any solution at the planning stage, since all other methods provide only "guesstimates". In fact, it also helps generate solutions or ideas, when the current system is just simulated and an insight is obtained. Using simulation models, one can easily justify or otherwise, effectiveness of any alternative solution. Of course, this simulation study can also take into account uncertainties in the market as well as on other inputs.

FlowMac™ simulation software from Papermac AB Sweden, is the world's best and well proven software which is used in more than 50 paper mills all over the world from 1991. It (version 6.0.9) is now available from Extended Answers who are the sole resellers in India. This helps to study the system technically and arrive at the best configuration of the processing system. Optimization facility for the simulation model is also readily available. Using this, one can optimize the operating parameters of the process. This FlowMac library software requires the use of ExtendSim CP™ simulation modelling software. It can be run using inexpensive ExtendSim runtime software. However building or rebuilding the models requires the use of Extendsim Development edition of the software which is also highly affordable.

Once the financial outlay for the reengineered solution is determined, its justification can be easily studied using "Monte Carlo Simulation" techniques that is also available from the same ExtendSim software.

Some of the famous equipment suppliers in this field such as the multinational Voith, Metso and GLV, Sweden use this software internationally to communicate their designs and equipment features and guarantee the effectiveness of their system/equipment. Hence this software is highly dependable and useful for design engineering and ultimately helps to decide on innovations. Support for software is provided from Papermac AB, Sweden and Extended Answers in India.

Software price includes the preliminary training for both Flowmac and ExtendSim. Special consultancy services are also offered. Kindly get in touch for a quote.
