Finland's Valmet Wins Complete Board Production Line Equipment Order in Asia

en.Wedoany.com Reported - On November 9, Finland's Valmet announced that it has received an order from a long-term cooperative customer in Asia for a new complete board production line. The scope of supply covers mechanical systems for stock preparation, board forming, winding and reeling, along with automation control equipment, digital services, and spare parts. The new production line is scheduled to start up in 2029, and the order has been included in Valmet's new orders for the third quarter of 2026.

This order centers on the supply of complete production line equipment, covering the main production stages from stock processing to board forming. The stock preparation system handles the processing and supply of production raw materials; the headbox and forming equipment are responsible for stock distribution, dewatering and web formation; the board machine completes continuous forming and subsequent processing; and the winding and reeling equipment handles web winding, slitting and finished roll processing. The equipment is linked according to the production process to form a complete board manufacturing machinery system.

Automation equipment is also an important part of this supply. Valmet will provide automation systems matched to the production line for production process control and equipment operation management, along with digital services to support production line operation monitoring and process management. The order also includes paper machine clothing and spare parts, providing supporting assurance for continuous operation after equipment installation and commissioning.

This production line is intended for the manufacture of high-quality coated board, and the equipment configuration must balance board forming quality, production stability and continuous operation capability. Unlike the purchase of a single paper machine or equipment for partial process stages, this order covers multiple key stages from stock preparation to finished roll winding, with the equipment supply scope extending to the entire line's process system and automation control.

Valmet has previously cooperated with this customer on equipment, and has now secured another complete production line order. For the equipment supplier, full-line delivery involves not only individual machine manufacturing but also the coordination of mechanical interfaces, control systems and production processes among equipment for different stages. The customer, in turn, can organize the construction of the new production line through a unified equipment supply and supporting service system.
