Valmet to rebuild Metsä Tissue's tissue machines in Raubach in Germany and Pauliström in Sweden
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Valmet Oyj's press release on September 20, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. EET
Metsä Tissue has selected Valmet as supplier for the upgrades of tissue machine
TM3 in Raubach, Germany and the tissue machine in Pauliström, Sweden.
The orders were included in Valmet's second quarter 2016, orders received. The
value of the orders will not be disclosed.
Earlier this year Metsä Tissue started up its tissue machine TM1 in Raubach,
Germany after Valmet's extensive rebuild of the wet section, where a new OptiFlo
II TIS headbox and an Advantage ViscoNip press were installed. The target of
this rebuild was to enhance the product qualities as well as energy efficiency
and process performance in a sustainable way.
TM3 in Raubach will be equipped with the same headbox as TM1 while Pauliström
will replace its existing shoe press and Yankee dryer with Valmet's Advantage
ViscoNip press and cast iron Yankee cylinder.
"We are impressed by the results of the new OptiFlo headbox and the Advantage
ViscoNip press, but also by the great team work we had in the TM1 project at our
Raubach mill. Altogether it has convinced us to extend our cooperation with
Valmet also for the new projects in Germany and Sweden," says Guido Bröcker,
Senior Vice President Technology from Metsä Tissue.
"With this kind of upgrades the performance and product quality of existing
tissue machines can be increased significantly without major investments. We are
proud to continue the excellent teamwork we have developed with Metsä Tissue
also in the coming projects. We are looking forward to working together to
improve their production assets as well as energy efficiency and product quality
with Valmet's state-of-the-art technology," says Björn Magnus, Sales Director,
Tissue Mills Business Unit from Valmet
