HELSINKI, Sept. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Valmet will supply
a new container board making line with extensive packages of
automation and services to Batı Kipas Kagıt Sanayi İsletmeleri in
Söke, Turkey. The new board making
line (PM 3) will produce high-quality fluting and liner grades. The
start-up of PM 3 is scheduled for the third quarter of 2023.
The order is included in Valmet's orders received of the third
quarter 2021. The value of the order will not be
disclosed. The total value of an order of this type and
delivery scope is typically around EUR
90-110 million.
"The new board machine PM 3 will be a showcase of Valmet's
high-level technical innovations. Batı Kipas Kagıt wants to be a
forerunner in technology. We selected Valmet due to its innovative
solutions and the good performance of Valmet's earlier delivery of
our PM 1 in Kahramanmaraş," says Sinem Öksüz Dedebayraktar,
Member of Board of Kipas Holding.
"Our cooperation with Kipas Kagıt has been excellent. In August,
we also announced a multifuel boiler delivery to the same customer.
The high-level technical solutions we have offered have really been
differentiation factors to Kipas Kagıt – in this sales project,
aqua layer headbox, impingement drying and hard nip sizer are good
examples of them," says Haluk Arıcan, Senior Sales Manager,
Turkey, Valmet.
Technical information about the delivery
Valmet's delivery for PM 3 will include a high-speed container
board making line from broke collection and an approach
system to a reel and a winder. An OptiFlo Layering
Gap headbox with new innovative aqua layering technology will
be used to produce a two-layer sheet with a very good layer
coverage using only one headbox and one OptiFormer Gap forming
unit with shoe and blade technology. These will be followed by an
OptiPress Linear press section and OptiRun Single dyer
section topped with an OptiDry Twin impingement drying unit
providing superior drying efficiency, excellent runnability,
enhanced draw control and increased bulk, and an OptiSizer
Hard sizer giving higher strength values.
The end of the machine line will be equipped with an OptiReel
Linear reel combined with transfer rails, and a high-capacity
OptiWin Pro two-drum proactive winder with Dual
Unwind for even higher winding capacity. A wide scope of board
machine and machine hall process ventilation systems, continuous
surface size preparation and OptiSizer supply systems will be

System including process controls, drive controls, and
condition monitoring, and Valmet IQ Quality Control System

Center utilizing the latest Industrial
Internet solutions. Cost Monitoring will offer real time
cost information of energy consumption in the production process.

parts and consumables packages.
