Remote support smooths out the start-up of Bohui’s new BM6

Jan 7, 2020

The new flexible board machine BM 6 enabled Bohui Paper to switch to printing paper right after initial start-up - with the option of switching back should the containerboard market take a new turn. Both the machine's start up in 2019 and also the conversion to paper six months later were supported with remote expert support from Valmet Performance Center. The over 10 m wide containerboard machine is the widest and largest of its kind in Asia.
