OptiBin innovation in use at Nordic Paper
The first chip bin installation in the world of OptiBin was recently started up at the Nordic Paper Bäckhammar pulp and paper mill nearby Kristinehamn, Sweden.
"There is still some residual points and, of course, some trimming to ensure that we achieve the goals we have set for the project," says Jonas Lindqvist, Deputy Director of Production and Project Manager at Nordic Paper.
Valmets new chip bin, OptiBin, for pulp mills' digester chip feeding, is to serve as a buffer before the digester and to remove air from the chips in an odorless manner. The new design is the result of years of development aimed at a cost-effective solution with as few moving parts as possible.
