Two wash presses for Holmen’s Iggesund mill in Sweden

Holmen Iggesund Paperboard has ordered two wash presses from Valmet for its Iggesund Mill in Sweden, with start-up scheduled for October 2024.

Valmet will supply two TRPE-940 TwinRoll wash presses including process piping, mechanical erection, basic engineering, commissioning, start-up, process support and advisory services.

Valmet also continues to support Holmen Iggesund to maximise reliability and optimise the performance of the fibreline and cooking with a three-year performance agreement. The agreement covers continuous support and collaboration for operation and process evaluations, on-site services, and reports. It also includes customer support from Valmet’s global network of experts through Valmet Performance Center and various Industrial Internet services.

“We are happy to cooperate with Holmen once again and deliver two additional Valmet

TwinRoll wash presses to their mill in Iggesund. The wash presses will help them improve the efficiency of the hardwood bleach plant,” says Mikael Gustafsson, senior sales manager for Fiberline in the pulp and energy business at Valmet. Holmen’s mill at Iggesund is a fully-integrated pulp and paperboard plant producing solid bleach board made from virgin fibres sourced from the forestry operations of Holmen Forest.
