Star Paper’s partnership with Valmet through a long-term agreement allows Star Paper to prioritize their process and production improvement rather than technical concerns. Moreover, the agreement ensures prompt delivery times and regular visits of screen basket experts to evaluate basket performance during operation. Mr. Madhukar Mishra, Managing Director, Star Paper Mills Limited commented on this development, “Our target is to improve the competitiveness of our screening system by reducing screening costs and continuously enhancing screening efficiency. We have achieved tangible results since the first agreement with Valmet in 2015, achieving more lifetime of screen baskets. Longer lifetime leads to higher cost savings.”
