Valmet to supply an extensive board machine rebuild for Arkhangelsk in Russia
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Valmet Oyj's press release on October 4, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. EET
Valmet will supply an extensive board machine and automation rebuild for
Arkhangelsk Pulp & Paper Mill (PPM) in Russia. The project for the board machine
2 (BM 2) is a continuation to the pre-engineering project executed by Valmet
earlier this year.
The order is included in Valmet's third quarter of 2016 orders received. The
value of the order will not be disclosed. The value of an order of this type is
typically valued around EUR 50-60 million. The rebuild is a part of
Arkhangelsk's investment project "Reconstruction of board department" with total
value of 8.8 billion rubles (about EUR 125 million).
The delivery will include a new Valmet OptiConcept M board machine wet end, a
number of improvements to the drying section, a completely new dry end and a
machine control system upgrade. Target of the rebuild is to increase production
by 30%. The start-up of the rebuilt machine is scheduled for the second half of
2018.
"Valmet's OptiConcept M board making line focuses on low operating costs
combined with energy-efficient and flexible production of high-quality board
grades. We have a number of excellent references verifying the targeted outcome.
Furthermore, our uniquely wide scope of offering differentiates us from the
competitors. The project continues our good cooperation with Arkhangelsk - we
have earlier delivered several pulp and paper technologies to them, latest being
the pulp mill upgrade and two modern refiner lines," says Vesa Simola, EMEA Area
President of Valmet.
Technical details of the delivery
Valmet's extensive board machine and automation delivery for the rebuild
includes pulpers for broke collection, equipment for approach flow systems for
top and back plies, two OptiFlo Fourdrinier headboxes, OptiFormer Multi forming
section, OptiPress Linear press section, a start-up package of paper machine
clothing, dryer section rebuild, OptiCalender Compact calender, OptiReel reel,
automatic transfer rails, OptiWin Drum two-drum compact winder and related air
systems. The automation upgrade comprises Valmet IQ quality measurement system,
Valmet DNA process control system and a moisturizer. The delivery will also
include a semi-automatic reels spool return system and a roll conveying system.
"The customer valued the fact that there is no need for cantilevering beams with
OptiConcept M and that there are only minor changes required for the
foundations. Space requirement will also be smaller compared to the traditional
wet end concepts. The 'plug and play' feature of OptiCalender Compact was also
appreciated by the customer," comments Senior Sales Manager Pekka Turtinen from
Valmet.
The 7,000 mm wide (wire) BM2 produces fluting and kraftliner grades with a basis
weight range of 90 - 200 g/m(2). The design speed for the new parts is 1,000
m/min. The annual production will be about 330,000 tonnes.
