Case Study: SAICA boosts paper mill performance with Valmet

Saica boosts PM 11 speed to 1,519 m/min with Valmet

Saica, a Spanish paper and cardboard manufacturer, faced the challenge of continuously improving the performance and production capacity of its PM 11 paper machine at its UK mill. To address this, the customer entered into a long-term Performance Agreement with the vendor Valmet to utilize their expertise and support services.

Valmet implemented a continuous performance development solution through its Performance Agreement, providing Saica with dedicated expert support, remote monitoring, and optimization services. This collaboration resulted in measurable impacts including an increased winder speed, a new 24-hour speed record of 1,519 m/min, and an annual production capacity of approximately 440,000 tonnes. The long-term partnership built on trust was key to achieving these results.
