Irving boosts jumbo set throughput with iRoll

More even tension profiles cut winder wrinkling and reduce breaks and cull. Jumbo roll set count raised from two to four. Irving Paper has managed to improve its customer roll throughput and the hardness uniformity

Guaranteed pulp quality with Valmet Dirt Count Analyzer

Metsä Fibre personnel have actively collaborated with Valmet Dirt Count Analyzer (Valmet DCD) design team and the latest result is a third generation device soon to be delivered to Metsä Fibre mills in Joutseno and Rauma.

Sustainability in district heating through pellet firing

All efforts to decrease the environmental load in power generation are needed to reach sustainability targets. Using wood pellets – carbon neutral, high-quality biofuel – offers a viable alternative in district heating. Read more about the pellet-fired heating plant in Tampere, Finland.

360°Rolls - performance up, costs down

By questioning their current operating models, paper mills greatly increase the chances of success in the search for lower costs, better availability, and higher efficiency. Valmet’s 360°Rolls approach enables papermakers to achieve better results with a 360° view of rolls and the roll environment.

More energy from the existing equipment

A fifteen percent capacity increase and more operating hours with only minor investments – this is the achievement of the energy company Mölndal Energi in Sweden. The company has greatly improved the production in their new biomass-fired boiler since it was supplied by Valmet in 2009.

Heat recovery harnesses energy

Instead of releasing heat into the air with flue gases, it is possible to harness it with Valmet’s flue gas condensing technology and use it in a number of processes. The results observed at power plants and paper mills have been excellent.
