QS Fibre offers testing services to assess various pulp quality parameters associated with samples provided by our clients. We provide fibre quality data through QS Zero-Span strength  length, and bonding indices as well as fibre size distributions  plotted by the QS AutoImager and contaminant (stickies, pitch, shives, dirt, and sclereids) levels as differentiated by the QS Fibre Screen and measured by our QualScan system.

We also provide interpretive analysis and testing program consultative services. WE can do testing at our Montreal facility or provide in-mill support. The scope of our in-mill support runs from setting up testing procedures to determining and implementing a comprehensive longitudinal fibreline plot, where pulp quality parameters are measured at pertinent process locations over an extended period of time. This plot will put normal process variation in relief and will enable process variation control limits to be established.

Fibre - The Common Denominator

QS Fibre Testing Services provide our clients with fibre quality data that link causal factors on one side of a production step process with their effects further downstream. They also associate variations in fibre quality going onto the papermachine with runnability and quality at the reel. With the QS Fibre approach, FIBRE truly becomes the essential common denominator.
