This will be Valmet's first OptiConcept M installation in North America and we are all proud to work with Pratt on this project," says Mike Gray, SVP Sales, Valmet North America
The new machine will have a wire width of 6.25 meters and a design speed of 1,200 m/min. Valmet's scope of delivery will comprise a complete OptiConcept M board production line from headbox to winder.
