Mondi Neusiedler Mill in Austria had a clear target in energy consumption reduction. They saw the potential for energy savings and promptly commenced on a project to replace existing short fiber refiners with just one OptiFiner Pro refiner.
"It was quite easy to quantify these savings in euros and justify the purchase, and our record of previous achievements with Valmet made me very confident of the outcome.”
Erwin Sversepa, Production Manager
