Pesmel to supply roll warehouse with large conveyor and wrapping system for Stora Enso's Imatra mills in Finland

Stora Enso invests Euro 70 million in new polyethylene  extrusion coating plant and an automated roll warehouse (ARW) at its Imatra mills in Finland. The full roll handling scope for this investment with the new automated warehouse was ordered from Pesmel, and it’s commissioning is expected to be completed early 4Q 2017.

The Imatra complex, which comprises the Kaukopää and Tainionkoski mills, has a capacity of more than 1 million tons/yr of carton board and specialty packaging paper.

Mr. Kaj Fahllund, the vice president of paper division of Pesmel, said: “The system is good example of our Material Flow How -concept, where the high bay warehouse synchronizes the production processes flexibly and efficiently. With packing and loading included, all the components of our concept will be delivered.”

The heart of this new system layout is Pesmel’s TransRoll ARW concept, which is connected with 7 in-out connections at different floor levels between the mill production and converting lines.

Pesmel is global supplier of highly automated internal logistic, storing (AS/RS) and packing systems for the metal, paper and converting industries.

Stora Enso Imatra Mills produce liquid packaging board for beverage cartons and food service boards for paper cups and various food packages.
