Comment Print
Helsinki, Finland 30 November 2010 -- Metso will rebuild two board machines for M-real in Finland to increase capacity and improve quality: the cartonboard machine at the Simpele mill and the kraftliner machine at the Kemiart Liners mill in Kemi. The start-up of the rebuilt Simpele machine is scheduled for the second quarter of 2011 and that of the rebuilt Kemiart Liners machine for the third quarter of 2011. The combined value of the orders is below EUR 20 million. The order is included in Paper and Fiber Technology’s Q4 orders received.

Metso's delivery to the Simpele mill will include a rebuild of the forming section, press section including a new shoe press and the dryer section. After the rebuild, the annual capacity of the Simpele mill will be approx. 300,000 tonnes, making the Simpele machine the biggest folding boxboard machine in Europe.

Metso’s delivery to the Kemiart Liners mill will include a coating section rebuild. Additionally, a coating drying rebuild will replace old gas infrared dryers with energy efficient high-drying-capacity air dryers. The rebuild will further improve the coated white top liner quality produced.
