Kotkamills, Kotka, Finland, has awarded Pöyry (Vantaa, Finland) with the assignment for engineering consultancy, laser scanning, 3D modelling, detail engineering, and site services for the folding boxboard machine project at its Kotka Mill in Finland. The assignment is a continuation of the pre-feasibility services performed by Pöyry and covers the majority of the required engineering services related to the implementation of the project.
With a focus on environmental sustainability, this project responds to growing customer demand by introducing high-quality recyclable barrier board to the market. Unlike other generally used plastic-coated boards, the barrier board of Kotkamills can be recycled without any special measures. By converting the paper machine product to packaging boards, Kotkamills will secure its position as a globally significant manufacturer of forest industry products.
Following the conversion into a board machine, Kotka Mill's capacity will be about 400,000 metric tpy of folding boxboard.
The conversion work is planned to take place during the second quarter of 2016. The board machine is scheduled to startup by the end of June 2016.
The value of the order has not been disclosed.
