Stora Enso, Finland, has ordered from Vaahto Pulp & Paper Machinery, Finland, a new shoe press for No. 4 board machine at its Ingerois mill in southeast Finland. Shoe-presses produce significantly higher web solids than conventional presses, resulting in higher production speeds or energy savings at the dryer section, the company noted.
According to Vaahto, the value of this kind of order amounts usually between EUR 2 million and EUR 3 million. Startup is scheduled for January 2012.
The grammage range of Ingerois products varies from 190 to 350 gsm. The wire width of the machine is 5,100 mm and design speed is up to 750 m/min. Vaahto recently rebuilt the middle layer headbox and reel of the same machine, which reportedly gave a good boost to production.
