BillerudKorsnäs has selected AFT (Aikawa Fiber Technologies) to supply a compact POM System for all three layers of their new 550,000 tonnes per year board machine at the Gruvön mill in Sweden.
According to Timo Koivisto , Vice President, Process and Equipment Solutions for AFT, “Compact and highly efficient, POM® paper machine wet end and headbox screening will deliver superior cleanliness in a compact package. The simple POM System, with its small footprint, has become the de facto alternative to traditional complex approach flow, eliminating capital and high operating costs.”
The order includes a complete POM System for all three layers and headbox screening, including:
* 3 - POMix stock processors
* 9 - POMp degassers
* 3 - POMLock drop legs
* 11- MaxFlow Headbox screens
* Cascade cleaning system, process pumps and auxiliaries plus associated basic engineering.
The system will come on stream in early 2019, coinciding with the start-up of BillerudKorsnäs’ new board machine.
