SCA Obbola mill investment

A new paper machine at SCA’s Obbola paper mill in Umeå, Sweden, will produce 725,000 tons of kraftliner per year. With a wire width of 10,200mm and a design speed of 1,400m per min, the PM 2 will be the most productive of its kind. The start-up of the machine is scheduled for the first quarter of 2023.

As full-line supplier for the entire papermaking process, Voith follows the Process Line Package (PLP) concept approach and assumes comprehensive responsibility for the project, covering the BlueLine stock preparation system and XcelLine paper machine. The comprehensive product scope includes detailed engineering and the supply of all sub-systems and components for the process line. The PLP reduces the number of required interfaces and contact persons and simplifies the entire project handling.
