Valmet is scheduled to deliver and reinstall a disc filter at Holmen Paper’s Braviken Paper Mill in Sweden. In the delivery, an existing disc filter from the mill’s deinked pulp line (DIP) will be modified and refurbished before being reinstalled in the thermomechanical pulp line (TMP). Valmet Disc Filter Bags will be included with the remanufactured disc filter. The order was one of the first quarter 2025 orders that Valmet received. The order’s value won’t be revealed.
”We are pleased to be able to support Holmen’s Braviken mill in enhancing its operational efficiency while supporting the circular economy. By reusing and optimising existing equipment, we can contribute to a more resource-efficient production. Solutions like this align perfectly with current industry trends and with both companies’ commitment to sustainability,” comments David Ljung, Sales Manager, EMEA Area, Valmet.
Technical details of the delivery
The delivery entails removing the old Valmet Disc Filter VDF 5,2 from the mill’s DIP line, replacing all of its essential components, and reinstalling the disc filter in the mill’s TMP line after making the required line adjustments. For best results, the disc filter will be fitted with Valmet Disc Filter Bags.
