This has made it possible for such and “expensive” process to further develop. Today, with increasing electricity prizes, it is of great interest to reduce electrical consumption in mechanical pulping industry, since the process consumes large amounts of electricity. Braviken paper mill is starting up a new thermomechanical pulping line, scheduled for start-up in August 2008, which aims to reduce electrical consumption. The new line will include chip pre-treatment equipment such as an impregnator, an Andrtiz Impressafiner (Screw press), a high intensity primary stage refines double disc (DD), and a new low consistency refiner (LC), significantly bigger than those earlier available on the market.

  • Press Release
    Press release 19 November 2014 New product reduces newsprint capacity Holmen Paper is launching a new product in the SC segment in spring 2015, which will reduce the company’s production of newsprint. “This new initiative will quickly bring about a significant change in newsprint volumes,” comments sales and marketing director Karolina Svensson. Intensive preparations are under way on PM 53 at Braviken Paper Mill outside Norrköping, Sweden, for the conversion work that is scheduled to begin at the end of January next year. PM 53 is Braviken’s largest machine, with an annual capacity of 310 000 tonnes for the current product mix. The machine produces Holmen NEWS (newsprint) and Holmen XLNT – the uncoated magazine paper that makes up Holmen Paper’s single biggest product family. It is the production of newsprint for export outside the Nordic region that is going to be reduced when the new product is introduced next year. “We are predicting a rapid rise in volumes for the new product,” says Karolina Svensson. “The aim is to achieve an annualised running rate for production and sales of more than 100 000 tonnes by the end of 2015. “We’ll be reducing the production of newsprint at a corresponding rate, and in the longer term we’ll only keep the volumes to supply our local markets in Scandinavia.” Holmen Paper judges that its own measures, combined with previously announced capacity closures elsewhere in the market, will considerably improve capacity utilisation for newsprint in 2015. For more information, please contact: Jonas Lindell, Communications Manager, tel. +46 (0)70-323 20 13 E-mail [email protected] This is information that Holmen AB is obliged to disclose under the Swedish Securities Market Act and the Swedish Financial Instruments Trading Act.

  • Energy Efficient High Quality CTMP for Paperboard
    Energy efficient high quality CTMP for paperboard Niklas Klinga (1, 2), Hans Höglund (1) and Christer Sandberg (2) (1) Mid Sweden University, FSCN, SE-851 70 Sundsvall, Sweden (2) Holmen Paper Development Centre, Braviken Paper mill, SE-601 88 Norrköping, Sweden E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper discusses the relationship between bulk and internal bond strength in paper sheets and their dependency on fibre length, fibre flexibility and fibre surface properties. It also discusses an interesting process concept for manufacturing of energy efficient high quality CTMP for paperboard. Post-refining pilot trials of spruce HTCTMP with an initial freeness of 740 ml were carried out at Metso Paper R&D in Sundsvall, Sweden. Both gentle high consistency and severe low consistency post-refining were performed. High consistency post-refining, at high energy input, gave freeness levels below 70 ml and still preserved the fibre length. These fibres were characterised by a very high flexibility giving sheets with a tensile index as high as 64 kNm/kg. Long fibres can however cause formation problems on a board machine which in turn can lead to poor surface properties, hence shorter fibres are from that perspective desirable. The low consistency post-refining resulted in a rapid drop in freeness due to fibre cutting. This was achieved at an extremely low specific energy input, which probably preserved most of the original fibre stiffness. In spite of this low energy input it was possible to reach the same Z-strength at a given bulk, as for the high consistency post-refined pulp.
