MoveRoll starts up new pneumatic kicker at paper mill in Kemi, Finland

May 29, 2014. /Lesprom Network/. In two years of intense development work, MoveRoll Oy have developed a revolutionary pneumatic Kicker. Now, the first MoveRoll® Kicker has been assembled at a paper mill in Kemi, Finland, and is due for start-up, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

Compact in size and unique in design, the new kicker features robust sliding rails that kick the roll horizontally onto the next conveying device. MoveRoll Kicker is the first unit which can replace the stand-alone standard kicker and offers several benefits over the latter.

A major benefit of MoveRoll Kicker is increased safety: when rolls are about to be kicked and during the actual kicking process, MoveRoll Kicker flashes a clearly visible warning light. Increased savings are another important benefit of MoveRoll Kicker: depending on the application, MoveRoll Kicker can reduce the energy consumption of up to 75%, compared to traditional kickers. Furthermore, easy installation and maintenance allow for savings in installation and maintenance costs.

The first project at the mill has been started by Mikko Rantanen, the CEO of MoveRoll.“Smooth start-up, understanding customer demands as well as learning more is so important with new innovations. So I feel my duty to be here, starting the first unit personally”, says Mikko.

MoveRoll Oy is a global supplier of roll handling equipments for the pulp and paper industry.
