the greenfield machine is scheduled for the beginning of 2018.
"The containerboard market is growing globally driven by increasing e-commerce
and new packaging applications. Valmet has developed a number of excellent
solutions to meet the market needs. Energy efficiency, high board quality and
very good productivity are among the most important highlights of Cheng Loong's
board machine," says Jari Vähäpesola, President of Paper Business Line, Valmet.
Technical details of the delivery
Valmet's delivery for the new containerboard machine will include equipment for
approach flow system, a new OptiFlo Fourdrinier headbox to ensure higher
productivity, OptiFormer Hybrid forming section with blade technology and a
center-roll based OptiPress press section with modern shoe press technology for

Loong's needs," comments Petteri Soini, Senior Sales Manager of Valmet.
