Case Study: Norske Skog Boyer achieves improved pulp quality and paper strength with Valmet screening system upgrade

Norske Skog Boyer improves pulp quality and reduces imported kraft fiber with Valmet

Norske Skog Boyer, a publication paper mill in Tasmania, faced undefined production challenges impacting paper quality and strength. After months of research, the root cause was identified as an issue with fiber fractionation on one of their pulp lines. The mill partnered with vendor Valmet to address this challenge.

Valmet implemented a tailored screening solution that combined the mill's existing equipment with a new Valmet FS370 screen. This upgrade, supported by Valmet's expertise and on-site training, significantly improved pulp quality and paper strength. The results allowed the mill to reduce its need for imported kraft fiber, thereby improving the cost-effectiveness of its production.
