Metsä Board orders second baling line for Kaskinen pulp mill


A


baling line is being delivered to Metsä Board’s pulp mill in Kaskinen, Finland.


It will be the second baling


line to be installed by Valmet at the mill and is scheduled to start up at the end of 2018. The delivery consists of baling line machinery including automation systems. The existing line and the new line will share an existing unitiser, which will provide increased speed. New wire cages will also


be added along the existing line. “We are waiting for Valmet’s


newest technology to give us easier living and to help us to reach our goals,” said Timo Rissanen, mill manager at Metsä Board Kaskinen. Ulf Thorén, head of baling


sales at Valmet, added: “We are looking forward to this project as we have had good cooperation with Metsä in earlier projects. We are very pleased that they chose to work


with us also this time.” The Kaskinen mill, which


produces bleached chemi- thermomechanical pulp for


paperboards and paper with a yearly capacity for 340,000 tons, is located on the west coast of Finland.
