Valmet’s key technologies for containerboard

Valmet’s delivery for the new containerboard machine will include a new OptiFlo Fourdrinier headbox for improved product quality and increased productivity, a center-roll based OptiPress press section with modern shoe press technology for lighter basis weights, as well as a new OptiSizer Film sizing section utilizing film application.

“In containerboard manufacturing, headbox, press section and sizer are key components in order to secure production quality. That’s why also Long Chen chose Valmet to supply those parts for their PM7 machine,” comments Kari Räisänen, Area Sales Director of Valmet.
