The customer, Klabin Monte Alegre Mill, faced the challenge of ensuring safe and efficient maintenance shutdowns across its entire pulp production facility. This included complex areas such as recovery boilers, evaporation, cooking, bleaching, washing, paper machines, recausticizing, and wood handling. To address this, Klabin partnered with vendor Valmet for a comprehensive mechanical and shutdown services agreement.

This included equipment inspections, maintenance recommendations, and post-shutdown meetings to plan for the next event. The result was a long-term partnership focused on problem-solving and innovation, which helped Klabin increase productivity and reduce costs through well-executed shutdowns.
