Valmet<\/a> has secured an order to supply its IQ quality control (QC) system for corrugators to Thai Containers Group\u2019s plant in Rayong, Thailand.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This system is designed to improve the quality and productivity of corrugated boards and reduce waste from warped boards.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

The delivery will include a Valmet IQ Warp Measurement, a Valmet IQ Moisturizer with three spray booms, a Valmet IQ Multipoint Moisture, Temperature Measurements, and Microwave moisture measurement.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

These components will be integrated through automatic closed-loop controls to manage online moisture, temperature, and warp measurements.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Valmet\u2019s IQ system is designed to control all types of corrugated board, aiming to reduce sheet warping, enhance bonding, and maximise performance in box board plants.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The order, which was included in Valmet\u2019s first-quarter (Q1) 2024 orders received, is set for delivery in Q4 2024.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The start-up of the new system is scheduled for Q1 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The financial details of the order have not been disclosed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thai Containers Group, a joint venture (JV) between Rengo<\/a> and SCGP, manufactures corrugated containers in Southeast Asia, with 29 fibre-based packaging plants across Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Valmet began its cooperation with Thai Containers Group in 2020, with the successful implementation of the Valmet IQ system at the Ratchaburi plant.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Following these positive outcomes, the company has repeatedly chosen Valmet\u2019s systems for its Navanakorn, Orient Container, and Chonburi plants, with the Rayong plant being the fifth to receive the system.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Valmet Southeast Asia automation systems solution sales manager Thossapon Arunsaengsuree said: \u201cWe are committed to support our customer to improve the end-product quality and production efficiency. The customer wishes to produce flat sheet while avoiding post-warp and cracking in converting. With Valmet\u2019s quality management solutions, we can help them achieve the set targets for the project and improve competitiveness.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last month, Valmet secured an order<\/a> to supply two complete tissue converting lines and packaging machinery to Mets\u00e4 Tissue\u2019s mill in Mariestad, Sweden.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
