Valmet started up new coaters at Mayr-Melnhof Kolicevo board machine in Slovenia

Nov 16, 2015. /Lesprom Network/. Valmet has started up new coating technology, featuring multilayer curtain coating, at Mayr-Melnhof Kolicevo board machine 3 in Slovenia, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

Valmet's delivery included a new OptiCoat Layer curtain coater with supply system and a new OptiCoat blade coater.
Compared to other curtain coating solutions OptiCoat Layer is compact in size and straightforward to install. This enables lower investment cost and shorter shut-down time.

The start-up was very smooth, thanks to the pre-assembly and pre-testing. This and the good cooperation between Valmet and experienced Kolicevo mill resulted in high-quality production right after the start-up.

"The assembly was finished on time and the start-up was done by just pushing the button. We are happy that the high targets set for this project have been met. The cooperation with Valmet was very good, on an open base during the whole project and startup phase, preventing all possible disturbances, before they even could occur," says Technical Mill Manager Rado Kunavar from Mayr-Melnhof Kolicevo.

Valmet Corporation is the leading global developer and supplier of technologies, automation and services for the pulp, paper and energy industries.
