Svenska Pappersbruket AB’s Klippan mill in Klippan, Sweden, has reportedly ordered a major rebuild of its No. 9 tissue machine from Metso of Finland. Startup of the rebuilt PM 9 is scheduled for the third quarter of this year.

Metso’s delivery includes a major rebuild of the existing suction breast roll forming section, which will be replaced with an Advantage DCT type crescent forming section, a rebuild of the existing approach and stock preparation system, and a minor rebuild of the existing press section. A state-of-the-art OptiFlo II TIS headbox is also included in the delivery.

The project, designed to meet growing market demand and to further increase product quality, operating speed, and production capacity, as well as to reduce energy consumption, will be handled on an installed basis, including dismantling of the existing equipment, complete installation, and startup and training services. The total investment is EUR 2 million.
