Stora Enso Imatra Mills Tainionkoski BM 5 safety upgrade
Jun 16, 2016
Safety was the main driving force behind modernizing the Stora Enso Imatra Mills Tainionkoski board machine 5 (BM 5). Valmet delivered safer winder, transfer rails from reel to winder, and some measurements and controls for the board machine because the roll handling equipment from reel to storage needed a major safety improvement.
When you get rid of safety deviations (near-miss incidents or accidents), production and working conditions improve. In other words, efficiency and safety are related: safety turns into profit.

Winder was equipped with many automated functions e.g. automatic reel spool handling, a butt-joint splicer, tail threading devices, automatic set change, core feeding and taping equipment.
Installation supervision, commissioning, start-up and training services were also included in the finishing area rebuild delivery.
Results
Improved safety in all operations, from reel to storage.
