Valmet has been chosen to supply its hard nip sizer technology, along with a supply system and related services, to an unnamed customer in Europe. This investment aims to optimize raw material usage, reduce starch and fiber consumption, and enhance the quality of end-product board without compromising strength properties. The technology, which applies starch on hard rolls with spray nozzles and presses it through the web at high pressure, is designed to support the production of lighter-weight grades, aligning with industry trends towards resource efficiency and sustainability. The start-up of the new system is scheduled for spring 2027. The order was included in Valmet's first-quarter 2026 orders, though the financial value was not disclosed. Klaus Kiviniemi, Product Sales Manager at Valmet, highlighted the robust solution and significant starch savings offered by the technology.
