Luvata solution wins Valmet order
Valmet Corporation has placed an order with Luvata for 900-industrial heat exchangers valued at EUR 5.7 million. The industrial coils will be used in paper pulp dryers at Valmet customer facilities in Brazil and Indonesia. With each heat exchanger weighing approximately 2-tons and measuring approximately 6 x 1,5 x 0,5 meters, the total project will involve over 217-tonnes of steel tube, 900-tonnes of steel bands and more than 143,800 tube plate drill holes, months. “We have a very strong supplier network, and Luvata is one of them,” says Hannu T. Pietilä, “The evaporation system and pulp dryers delivering to Indonesia will be the largest in the world. This requires an unprecedented scale of pieces and parts that must all come together in a well-organized fashion.” “We’ve designed and
manufactured high-quality coils and coolers for industrial applications for over 70 years. Today that’s no longer enough,” indicates Mattias Lindhe, Commercial Director EMEA – Industrial with Luvata Söderköping. “We must also deliver complex, logistically challenging, turnkey supply solutions”. Valmet signed a contract with OKI Pulp & Paper Mills to supply key technology for a pulp mill project in South Sumatra, Indonesia. The new mill is expected to produce approximately 2 million ADT (air dry tonne) of pulp annually. The commercial production is expected to begin in 2016. Valmet will also supply two pulp drying lines to Klabin’s new plant in Ortigueira in Parana, Brazil. The annual production capacity of Klabin’s new plant will be 1.5 million tons, with start-up of the new plant More information on Luvata Söderköping AB t: +46 121 19190

Uerdingen. From there the parts are loaded via a 400t crawler crane onto three different inland going vessels which will start their journey on May 23. Two days later, in Antwerp, the cargo will be reloaded onto a seagoing vessel. To do so onboard cranes are used. Also loaded are parts from sub-suppliers and press component parts which have already been delivered to the sea port. After the cargo arrives at its destination in Longkou, China, the parts will have to be loaded once again onto heavy goods transporters and transported to the customer’s premise 20 km from the port. The parts will have to be stored here, according to their order of installation, until they are needed. The journey of the component parts from Krefeld
to the customer’s site will take approximately 65 days. Altogether three lots of similar size will be shipped in the following months. Additionally, approximately 150 sea containers with press supplies, tools and assembly equipment will also be shipped. The transport expenses amount to approximately 3.5 million euro. The installation of the presses is scheduled to begin in July 2014; both closed-die forging presses are expected to start operation in early summer of 2015
