Stora Enso responds to market changes at Varkaus
S
tora Enso is having its PM3 fine paper machine at the Varkaus mill in
Finland extensively rebuilt by Valmet to produce lightweight containerboard grades. The target of the paper-
to-packaging rebuild, costing around €30 million, is to produce lightweight virgin fibre-based packaging materials from the end of 2015. “This delivery is an excellent and innovative response to the structural change the paper industry is facing. By rebuilding the existing fine paper machine with new key components Valmet can provide the customer with a value-adding solution that enables operations to continue in Varkaus,” says Jari Vähäpesola,
Pulp Paper & Logistics
president of the Paper Business Line at Valmet. The project will include a new
headbox, forming section rebuild including Fourdrinier extension with new top forming unit, press
section rebuild with new SymBelt press nip as well as rebuilds of dryer section, calender, reel and winder. The delivery will also include a related air system as well as equipment for stock
preparation area. The conversion of the machine
is in response to the decreasing global market for fine paper but increasing global market for renewable packaging board.
Tissue line will add 60,000 tons of capacity in Mexico
A complete tissue production line has been ordered by Chile’s CMPC Tissue SA for the mill of its subsidiary Absormex CMPC Tissue in Mexico. Supplied by Valmet, the line will add 60,000 tons of high quality toilet and towel grades to the company’s annual production when it starts up in mid-2015. Valmet previously supplied an
Advantage DCT200 tissue line to CMPC Tissue’s Talagante mill in Chile.
The project comprises a
complete tissue production line with stock preparation equipment and tissue machine including an OptiFlo II TIS headbox, a Yankee
May/June 2014
cylinder, an Advantage AirCap hood, an Advantage WetDust dust management system and an Advantage SoftReel reel. It
will include control systems, electrification, mill engineering as well as installation. The production line will be optimised
to enhance final product quality and reduce energy consumption. The raw material for the new line will be virgin and DIP pulp.
