Increase production capacity

Get more out of your paper making line
Every board or paper machine has the potential to improve. When you have identified the need, it is only a matter of finding the perfect solution. Factors that might be restricting the production:
- Bottlenecks
- Too many web breaks
- Long web break times
- Low machine speeds
- Poor runnability
There are several ways to increase the production of a paper or board making line. The Paper machine's efficiency can be improved for example by decreasing the number of breaks and shortening the break time. Drying capacity can be found to be a bottleneck. Drying capacity can be increased by solutions that maximize drying efficiency with minimum energy consumption. Machine speed can be limiting production, too.
Let us help you to get more from your papermaking line!

Capacity increase rebuild in Mexico
Mexican Pondercel selected Valmet to modernize their PM 1 papermaking line at the company’s Anahuac mill in order to increase capacity. The rebuilt production line has significantly increased speed and production capacity

Increased efficiency through maintenance
Faced with tough competition, papermakers are seeking maximum profitability and optimum production efficiency in their operations. One success factor is a reliable predictive maintenance culture. Whatever the maintenance need or strategy is, Valmet provides optimal maintenance solutions and services for it.

Steinbeis PM 4 increases its production capacity
