Metso to rebuild fiber line for Daio Paper in Japan

Metso will supply main equipment for the rebuild of the Mishima mill’s fiber line. “Replacing old machinery of low availability and high maintenance costs with Metso’s modern, state-of-the-art machinery will boost the production capacity of the fiber line to 1,700 air dried tonnes per day of bleached hardwood kraft pulp,” says Håkan Öhlen, Sales Manager, Metso. 

Metso’s scope of delivery will include a new screening room, an oxygen delignification stage and five latest-generation TwinRoll Evolution wash presses. Two of the presses will be installed as brown stock washers, two as post-oxygen washers and one as a D-stage washer.

The order is included in Paper and Fiber Technology’s third quarter 2011 orders received.
