Metso: Six TwinRoll Evolution wash presses to Swedish pulp mills

The wash presses, scheduled to start up between end of 2011 and mid 2012, will help the mills to increase their production capacity, optimise the fiberline and reduce the environmental impact.

To Södra Cell Mörrum pulp mill Metso will supply two new TwinRoll Evolution wash presses as a part of the mill’s investment to convert their line1 to dissolving pulp production. At full capacity Södra Cell Mörrum will produce 170,000 t of dissolving pulp based on hardwood. Metso’s delivery will also include rebuild of two old presses, basic engineering and site services.

To Rottneros Vallviks Bruk AB Metso will deliver two TwinRoll Evolution wash presses, basic engineering and site services. The new wash presses will allow Vallvik to reduce the effluent flow from the bleach plant to the new biological water treatment plant.

To Korsnäs AB pulp mill in Gävle Metso will deliver a TwinRoll Evolution wash press, rebuild of existing oxygen stage, piping, basic and detail engineering and site services. The new Metso equipment will allow Korsnäs to optimise the fiberline operation which will improve the quality of their pulp.

To Korsnäs AB pulp mill in Frövi Metso will deliver a TwinRoll Evolution wash press, basic engineering and site services. The new wash press will replace an old wash press before the paper machine.
