Automation for Pulp

Moving forward together - Liansheng Pulp & Paper

An important milestone was reached for Liansheng Pulp and Paper’s massive Zhangpu greenfield mill project in China between May and June 2023. Two BCTMP (bleached chemi-thermomechanical pulp) production lines, cartonboard line PM 1, high-grade fine paper line PM 3, and two tissue lines, TM 3 and TM 4, were successfully started up in a great collaboration between Liansheng and Valmet.

The path to mill-wide optimization: Interview with Valmet experts

Improving mill production in both cost reduction and quality control is often compartmental. Tuning individual subprocesses helps, but taking a mill-wide view of optimization shows the true potential. We interviewed Timo Laurila and Matti Selkälä to learn more.
