Valmet will supply an Old Corrugated Containers (OCC) line, three stock preparation lines, and an OptiConcept M containerboard machine with automation and services to Kivanç Tekstil Sanayi Ve Ticaret's mill in Adana, Turkey.
The value of the order will not be disclosed, but Valmet said a project of this size and scope is typically valued at around EUR 60-70 million.
The new board making line (PM 1) will produce high-quality testliner and fluting grades with a basis weight range of 50-135 g/m2. The design speed of the machine will be 1,200 m/min and the daily capacity approximately 1,000 metric tons.
The start-up and further optimization of PM 1 will be supported remotely from the Valmet Performance Center which utilizes the latest Industrial Internet solutions available on the market. One such solution is Valmet Dynamic Centerline Advisor, a cloud-based analytic application, which generates the best available grade-based dynamic centerlines suitable for different production KPIs or properties such as energy and production efficiency or end-product quality parameters. The Virtual Mill, which can be used, e.g., for personnel training, consists of a fully digital design twin of the board machine.
The delivery will also include packages of spare parts and consumables. Start-up of PM 1 is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2023.
