<![CDATA[

Finland-based Valmet Oy will supply ways it old corrugated container (OCC) stock preparation and containerboard production lines with” a large scope of automation systems, industrial Internet solutions and services” to Eren Paper’s Shotton Mill Limited in the United Kingdom.

The new containerboard-making line (PM3) will produce what the companies call high-quality test liner and fluting grades, and the line will use 100 percent recycled paper as feedstock. The start-up of PM3 is scheduled for the second quarter of 2024.

States Valmet, “A project of this size and scope is typically valued at around €150 million to €170 million ($159 million to $180 million).

“Shotton’s new containerboard machine will make our paper mill the largest and most technologically advanced paper mill in the U.K.,” says Hamdullah Eren, board chairman of Eren Paper/Modern Karton. “We chose a board making line with high performance, high speed and higher production rates.”

Comments Mika Ollikainen, a vice president with Valmet, “Our technical highlights together with the speed and production potential of the containerboard machine were definitely the decisive factors to Eren Paper. Valmet’s OptiAir impingement dryer will give substantially higher runnability, and hard nip sizer will increase the strength properties of the produced board. All these arguments were supported by the results from the references we presented to Eren Paper. Additionally, the OCC line will be the largest one delivered by Valmet.”

Valmet says equipment delivered will include a new OCC line with reject handling, stock preparation, and approach flow system, and a high-speed containerboard machine. The OCC line includes “the latest technology for extreme cleanliness and strength,” says the firm.

Established in 1969, Eren Holding is a family-run conglomerate headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey. It has business interests in paper, packaging, cement, energy, retail and port operations. Modern Karton, the paper manufacturing subsidiary, produces paper and packaging while using 100 percent recycled fibers. Within its paper factory in Turkey, 1.2 million metric tons of paper are produced annually, making it the largest paper manufacturer in Turkey and one of the top 10 paper companies in Europe, according to Eren and Valmet.
