Valmet Oyj's press release on May 17, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. EET
Valmet will deliver dewatering equipment and an automatic pulper feed system to
Gruvön pulp and paper mill in Sweden. The order is part of the investment in a
new board machine and rebuild of the existing pulp mill at the Gruvön site. The
whole investment is the largest in the history of BillerudKorsnäs and one of the
largest in Sweden in recent years.
The order was included in Valmet's first quarter 2017 orders received and the
value of the order will not be disclosed. The start-up of the new equipment is
planned to first quarter 2019.
BillerudKorsnäs is investing in Gruvön mill to meet the growing demand for
sustainable packaging solutions for food and beverages globally.
"Valmet's automatic pulper feed system, including bale storage, destacking and
dewiring for baled pulp, will make the bale receiving line process efficient and
safe, ensuring a good area working environment. With the new automatic system,
based on Valmet's proven Bale handling with RoboSafety(TM) technology,
BillerudKorsnäs will ensure the stock feed for the new board machine with a
minimum of operator intervention," says Per Jangdal, Sales Manager at Valmet.
"To adapt pulp production to the new requirements, TwinRoll presses will be
placed in close vicinity to the new board machine stock preparation. Our presses
will wash the pulp one last time before it moves to the new board machine," says
Patrik Lidbäck, Sales Manager at Valmet.
Valmet announced earlier in May 2017, that Valmet will supply an upgrade of the
evaporation plant at BillerudKorsnäs Gruvön pulp and paper mill.
