Jiangmen Xinghui Paper Mill Co., Ltd. Jiangmen in China |
|
Customer challenge(s) |
The mill experienced insufficient drying capacity after machine speed was increased. A lack of drying capacity impairs sheet surface properties and printability. Although the mill’s steam consumption per unit is already at the benchmarking level for the industry, it still has room to reduce steam consumption and improve energy efficiency to maintain cost competitiveness. |
|
Solution |
The Valmet team planned and organized a systematic set of actions. Air systems were measured to evaluate the necessary actions. Old Foil nozzles on the 8 air dryers in the coating section were replaced by new Valmet Air Dryer nozzles. Low energy consumption, superior drying capacity and high end-product quality are the main advantages of Valmet's air-drying technology. |
