UPM Paso De Los Toros boosts pulp production with Valmet press felts delivering 2.1 million tonnes capacity support

UPM Paso de los Toros, a pulp mill in Uruguay, sought a reliable partner to ensure efficiency and stability in its production process. The mill selected Valmet as its supplier for seamed press felts based on Valmet's global experience, technical support availability, and competitive commercial offering.

Valmet implemented its SMS and SMO seamed press felts, which provided excellent dimensional stability and a service life that exceeded market standards. This resulted in lower energy consumption, improved final product quality, and reduced operational costs for the customer. Valmet's close cooperation and technical support, including improvements in transportation and installation, were key to achieving these consistent and outstanding results.
