Rottneros AB, Sweden, reports that the three-week shutdown for maintenance work and to implement investments at its Vallvik Mill in Sweden has now been completed and production at the mill has been resumed. The two investments involved replacing the remaining old part of the evaporation plant and also substantially improving air regulation in the recovery boiler. Total cost for the projects amounted to around SEK 130 million.
"We have now eliminated production bottlenecks, thereby increasing the capacity of the mill from 200,000 to 220,000 metric tpy," said Robert Jensen, managing director at the Vallvik Mill. The investments will also result in reduced emissions.
"It is particularly gratifying," continued Jensen, "that all work during the shutdown, which employed almost 600 people, went according to plan and that costs were within budget. We will now prove that we can supply what we have promised and look forward to the next stage of our development at the Vallvik factory."
