Valmet to supply paper machine modifications and a new winder to Laakirchen Papier in Austria
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Valmet Oyj's press release on September 29, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. EET
Valmet will supply paper machine modifications and a new winder to Laakirchen
Papier AG in Austria. Laakirchen Papier will convert its paper machine 10 (PM
10) to produce lightweight containerboard. Currently PM 10 is producing
publication paper. The start-up of the paper machine and the winder is scheduled
for the autumn of 2017.
The order is included in Valmet's third quarter 2016 orders received. The value
of the order will not be disclosed. The value of an order of this type is
typically EUR 5-10 million.
"With this investment, the product range of Laakirchen Papier will be widened
into a growing market sector. Valmet's technology and vast reference list of
high speed containerboard winders convinced us," comment project manager Johann
Stadlmayr and production manager Jan Reibert from Laakirchen Papier.
Technical details about the delivery
Valmet's delivery includes a press section upgrade, relocation and modification
of the existing reel and one OptiWin Drum two-drum winder. The winder is
equipped with Dual Unwind, which is Valmet's new two-unwind system. This new
feature makes it possible to change the parent roll in only one minute.
"Grade conversion projects often include a production change from two winders to
one high capacity winder to increase mill's automation level. This also the case
in Laakirchen PM10. A Valmet high capacity winder with two-unwind will do the
demanding job," says Kenneth Åkerlund, Product Manager, Winders and Reels from
Valmet.
The 7,500 mm wide (reel) PM 10 will produce containerboard products with a basis
weight range of 70 g/m(2) upwards. After the full extension, the annual
production of PM 10 will reach 450,000 tonnes.
