Case Study: Cenpa SAS improves mill safety with Valmet paper machine framework replacement

Cenpa SAS improves mill safety with Valmet in a 2023 shutdown framework replacement

Cenpa SAS, a paper mill in France, faced a challenge with worn framework on its paper machine that posed a safety risk and threatened unplanned production breaks. The mill partnered with Valmet to perform a framework replacement, relying on Valmet's field services expertise to execute the project during scheduled shutdowns.

Valmet conducted a corrosion study and planned a two-phase rebuild, completing the critical work within the mill's tight annual shutdown schedules. The solution significantly improved safety at the mill site and served as crucial preventive maintenance, greatly diminishing the risk of future unplanned downtime. Cenpa's management was highly satisfied with Valmet's determination and ability to deliver the project with good quality and on time.
