Metso supplies board machine rebuild for SCA for increase of value-added production
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Metso Corporation's press release on May 31, 2012 at 12:00 p.m. local time
Metso will rebuild the white top kraftliner machine at the Piteå mill of SCA
Packaging Munksund AB in Sweden. The rebuilt production line will be fully
operational during 2013. The value of the order will not be disclosed.
The main target of the rebuild is to increase the share of the production of
value-added white top kraftliner products. As a result of the rebuild, SCA
Packaging Munksund will be able to increase its total annual white top
kraftliner production from the current level of 110,000 tonnes to 165,000 tonnes
and the total kraftliner production from today's 360,000 tonnes to 415,000
tonnes.
"The investment in the rebuild facilitates increased production of white top
kraftliner, a strong specialty paper for the corrugated board industry which is
experiencing a high growth rate. The investment is in line with the company's
strategy, which is to increase production and sales of products and services
with a higher degree of refinement that add value to our customers," said Jan
Johansson, President and CEO of SCA, in a press release after the investment
decision.
Metso's delivery will comprise a rebuild of the approach flow system, headbox,
forming, press and dryer sections as well as of the board machine ventilation
system.
The 7.01-m-wide (wire) PM 1 produces white top kraftliner in the basis weight
range of 115-200 g/m2 and unbleached kraftliner in the range of 170-440 g/m2 at
the design speed of 1,100 m/min.
The order is included in Metso's Pulp, Paper and Power first quarter 2012 orders
received.
