Korean corrugated board and packaging manufacturer, Ajin P&P Co., Ltd. has invested in a new OptiFlo Fourdrinier headbox with Valmet IQ Dilution Profiler for their BM 2.
“There are two choices when it comes to headboxes. You can choose a cheaper headbox with quite OK technology and reach decent quality. Or you can choose a dilution control headbox and automation from Valmet and guarantee superior quality, consistently,” said Dr. Jin-Doo Kim, CEO, Ajin.
He continues by explaining that the Valmet IQ Dilution Profiler in OptiFlo headboxes is the key. When combining the proven headbox technology with Machine Controls, Distributed Control System, and Quality Control System from Valmet, you can ensure such an overall performance and quality that no other technology supplier can match. This enables Ajin to provide their customers with a totally different level of service and quality.
BM 2 produces 115 to 250 gsm testliner grades from Korean OCC. The back ply headbox was upgraded to OptiFlo Fourdrinier headbox in August 2023.
“Our philosophy is that every single day we think that how can we improve to serve our customers better. Truly, we discuss this every single day. Then we execute these changes gradually, step by step. It is hard work but after 10 years and several upgrades and improvements in our process and machine line, we have accumulated substantial competitive advantage and can now provide the best quality test liner on the Korean market. The new headbox is crucial in achieving this,” Kim confirms.
