Metso to rebuild M-real's board machines at Kyro and Äänekoski mills in Finland
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Metso Corporation's press release on June 10, 2011 at 11:30 a.m. local time
Metso will rebuild two board machines for M-real in Finland. The start-up of the
rebuilt machine at the Kyro mill is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2011 and
that of the rebuilt machine at the Äänekoski mill for the second quarter of
2012. The combined value of the orders is over EUR 15 million. The orders were
included in Paper and Fiber Technology's Q1/2011 orders received.
Metso's delivery to the Kyro mill will include a rebuild of the press, dryer and
coating sections. In a coating drying rebuild, new energy-efficient high-drying-
capacity air dryers will be added both to increase drying capacity and to
replace old gas infrared dryers. After the rebuild, the annual board capacity of
the Kyro mill will increase to approximately 190,000 tonnes.
Metso's delivery to the Äänekoski mill will include a rebuild of the headbox,
the coating section and the reel including an automatic parent roll transfer
system to the new winder. A new headbox and a new two-drum winder will aim at
capacity increase. After the rebuild, the annual board capacity of the Äänekoski
mill will increase to approximately 240,000 tonnes.
