The Valmet ImpBin chip impregnation system rebuild enables a thorough impregnation of the chips with liquor before cooking, leading to more stable and increased pulp production. The new wash filter hoods are made of strong and durable glass-fiber reinforced plastic FRB with low weight. They offer easy removal and re-installation, thus improving safety during inspection and maintenance.
The first installations will take place during the mill’s spring shutdown in May 2023, and installation of the new filter hoods will take place during 2024. The orders were included in Valmet’s orders received for the first quarter of 2023.
