When Södra Cell Mönsterås realized they were losing about four tonnes of accept fiber each day during softwood pulp production they quickly started to look for a solution to fix the problem.
Saving this much accept fiber each day can result in a payback time of one year or less.

Challange
Losing accept fibers in the screen room
Solution
Valmet rebuilt the third screen and replaced the cyclone cleaners with a fourth screen in a conventional screen room of the pulp mill. A screen basket with a dilution belt was added to the third screen. Furthermore, a number of the cyclone cleaners were replaced with an OptiScreen Fine screen to screen fine rejects.
Results
