Case Study: Kıvanç Paper achieves world-class recycled board quality with Valmet technologies

Kıvanç Paper reaches 75% of design speed in record time with Valmet

Kıvanç Paper, a company with a background in textiles, made a strategic leap to enter the board manufacturing industry with a new greenfield mill. Their challenge was to build a state-of-the-art operation that would produce superior quality, sustainable packaging board and provide a competitive advantage in the market. They selected Valmet as a single supplier to provide innovative technologies for their entire board making line, including stock preparation and the board machine.

Valmet implemented a comprehensive solution featuring several cutting-edge technologies, many of which were global firsts. Their delivery included an energy-efficient OCC line with a Drum Pulper, an OptiFlo Layering headbox, a novel compact dryer section, and the first OptiSizer Hard in Türkiye. The results were world-class, with the mill producing board with superior strength properties compared to competitors while achieving low energy consumption and high efficiency. Valmet's technologies and close collaboration ensured a successful start-up, with the line quickly reaching 75% of its design speed and producing sellable product within days.
