Long-term agreements for performance and reliability at Cartulinas CMPC Maule
Aug 23, 2017
CMPC and Valmet have been cooperating closely in many areas with the aim of systematically developing the machine and CMPC’s production operations.
At the Maule mill in Chile, Valmet has helped CMPC to keep its equipment running smoothly and reliably, as well as to optimize the performance of their production processes in order for the mills to make the most of their potential. This has resulted in production records, quality improvements and energy savings.
To further achieve their targets for increased production and improved board quality, they also invested in a new metal belt calender in 2016.
We see Valmet as a technology expert with strong process knowledge. It provides machinery, automation and many kinds of services. We have taken advantage of that, and we can see the results."
