Valmet sales manager Patrik Lidbäck said: “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.”

Earlier this month, Valmet announced that it would supply an upgrade of the evaporation plant situated at BillerudKorsnäs’ Gruvön pulp and paper mill site.

Installation of the new equipment is scheduled to be carried out by next year.
