In July 2021, Bati Kipas Kagit commissioned Europe's largest paper machine (PM2) for coated paperboard production in Soke, Aydin, Turkey with a capacity of 720.000 t/y. Valmet Retention Measurement (Valmet RM3) is used for wet end measurement from the first moment of commissioning in order to achieve high efficiency in production as well as high savings from chemicals.
Valmet is a good partner for retention control. It is very successful especially in this kind of automation devices specific to paper machines. Compared to its competitors, I can say that we prefer Valmet because we trust Valmet's technology more.
