Valmet-supplied folding boxboard production line starts up at Metsä Board's mill in Sweden

Feb 09, 2016. /Lesprom Network/. Valmet-supplied coated board production line for Metsä Board has started up at the company's Husum mill in Sweden. The new machine produces high-quality folding boxboard with an annual capacity of 400,000 tons with a basis weight range of 185 - 350 g/m2, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

This new machine with an off-coater process underlines that Valmet has vast know-how and masters the technique of coated board. Valmet's delivery included a board machine featuring the latest modular design of headboxes, forming section and press section, as well as a rebuild of the off-machine coater, winder and the roll wrapping line. The wet end area of the machine is based on innovative OptiConcept M frame construction without the need for cantilever beams for fabric changes.
