Valmet Corporation's press
release on July 6, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. EET
Valmet will supply Parenco B. V. with high
capacity winder for company's
containerboard making line PM2 in Renkum, Netherlands. The PM2 was
shut down in 2009 by mill's earlier owner due to declining demand
of newsprint paper. Now, the machine will be converted to produce
testliner and fluting grades, which are used in containerboards.
The converted PM2 is scheduled to start-up during the third quarter
of 2016.
The order is included in Valmet's second quarter
2015 orders received. The value of the order will not be
disclosed.
"Valmet's winding technology enables high capacity
and reliable production of lightweight packaging board. The proof
of this is our strong reference base in Europe. Our OptiWin two
drum winders are well suited for multiple grades and models are
available for all machine widths", says Kenneth
Ã…kerlund, Product Manager, Winders and Reels, from Valmet.
Technical information about the
delivery
Parenco's PM2 has a trim width of 8.5 m. After the
conversion it will produce testliner and fluting grades at a
capacity of around 385,000 tonnes/yr.
Valmet's delivery includes a fully automated
OptiWin two-drum winder comprising core feeding, automatic set
change and an end gluing device. Valmet's delivery also includes
parent roll handling system, fully automatic roll marking and roll
conveyor system, automatic core cutting and core handling system as
well as related pulper and air systems and machine control
system.
