Valmet DNA extends lifetime of paper machine controls at Stora Enso Nymölla
Dec 22, 2015
In May 2015, Stora Enso Nymolla successfully started up its PM2 with up-to-date control technology. In Nymölla mill there are two paper machines and a pulp mill. All processes have been controlled with Valmet DNA for years. In this project the PM2 Siemens S5 machine control system was replaced with Valmet DNA and connected to the existing Valmet DNA automation system.
The start-up was a complete success. Production was sellable from the second reel on. The runnability of the machine was excellent right from start-up."
