“The order emphasizes Metso’s strong capabilities as a world leading supplier of slab press and baling technology for the pulp and paper industry and BCTMP (bleached chemi-thermomechanical pulp) producers in particular. The order received is the fourth slab press unit sold in the last twelve months,” says Andreas Lindstedt, Sales Manager, Metso.

Metso’s delivery will include design, supply and erection of the equipment including a slab press and a partial baling line. The project will also include relocation of existing machinery to enable Estonian Cell to make full use of their new equipment. The new slab press and upgraded baling line will produce over 500 air dried t of bleached aspen BCTMP per day.
