Hinton Pulp, Hinton, Alberta, Canada, has ordered from Metso, Finland, a rebuild of its market pulp machine. The project will be delivered and installed in late 2011. The value of the order exceeds EUR 10 million.
Metso's delivery will include a new top wire former, press section modifications, air borne dryer rebuild, dry end pulper rebuild, and a new high-capacity cutter layboy.
The rebuild will significantly increase the pulp machine's capacity. Brian Grantham, GM, Hinton Pulp, noted that "the upgrade to the pulp machine will allow the mill to produce more green power, reduce its natural gas consumption, and lower its carbon footprint."
Hinton Pulp is a division of West Fraser Timber Co., an integrated wood products company producing lumber, wood chips, LVL, MDF, plywood, pulp, and newsprint. The company has operations in western Canada and the southern U.S.
