By GlobalDataSiam Kraft Industry plant reliability and engineering manager Suteephong Sumphaophok said: “We expect to improve the CD moisture 2-sigma variation at least by 40%, which is quite challenging.
“Other mills in our group that have been equipped with the latest Valmet moisturiser solution such as Siam Kraft’s PM1, PM3, PM5, PM8, PM16, PM17 and mill at Thai Paper Glassine, have been satisfied with Valmet IQ Moisturiser’s performance.
“We believe this latest solution will help us to improve the moisture profiles overall and increase the production.”
The deliveries of the Valmet IQ Moisturiser systems are expected to be carried out during the first two quarters of next year.
