High expectations met with grade conversion rebuild

Kruger took advantage of Valmet’s piloting services to develop the right rebuild scope for Trois-Rivières PM10.

Pilot tests before the big decision

At Blue Paper rebuild the designed forming section was first of its kind, so the prototype was pilot tested before the final decision.

Superior quality paper after rebuild

One target of the rebuild was to achieve a lower tensile strength ratio and maintain good runnability. The pilot process gave the advantage of being able to test two alternative concepts on two pilot machines.
