Valmet to supply press section technology for Marusumi Paper Co., Ltd. in Japan
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Valmet Corporation's press release on November 9, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. EET
Valmet will supply a paper machine rebuild to Marusumi Paper's Ohe mill in
Japan. The rebuild includes a new press section utilizing Valmet's modern shoe
press technology.
The main target of the rebuild is to decrease energy consumption at the plant.
The rebuilt machine will be started up during fourth quarter of 2016.
The order was included in Valmet's third quarter 2015 orders received. The value
of the order is not disclosed.
"The trend in newsprint production has recently been towards lighter paper
weights, driven by resource and energy savings. To further meet this lighter
weight tendency, Marusumi Paper has decided to proceed with a press rebuild
project in order to improve productivity and end product quality. We chose
Valmet as a supplier for this rebuild for several reasons. The original supplier
of the machine is Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and Valmet has acquired the
company's paper machinery technology. We have also had good experience with
Valmet in an earlier project when installing a sizer for Ohe mill's PM 3 in
2005. We are expecting great performance from Valmet also with this project",
says Toru Shinohara, Director and Mill Manager, Marusumi Paper Co., Ltd.
"Valmet can offer key technologies for challenging rebuilds, and pressing
technology is one of our core know-how areas. Modern pressing technology can
help our customers to achieve higher end product quality and significantly
decrease energy consumption," says Petri Paukkunen, Vice President, Paper Mills
Sales and Marketing, Valmet.
Key features of the delivery
Valmet's delivery includes a new center roll based press section with modern
shoe press technology as well as related runnability solutions, new press
section frames, installation, motors and electrification. The existing press
section at PM 2 will be rebuilt into Valmet's OptiPress Center press section.
With this tri-nip solution, the new 1st press, the 2nd press and the 3rd press
shoe nip maximizes the dry content, decreases steam consumption and increases
the wet strength of the paper.
The 9000-mm-wide (wire) PM 2 produces newsprint grades at the design speed of
1200 m/min.
