Valmet to supply nonwovens rewinder to Papel Aralar

The order for the new nonwovens rewinder was included in Valmet’s third quarter of 2018 orders received. It is planned to be in operation during the second quarter of 2019.

The machine is designed to have a maximum operating speed of 1,800 metre/min and a maximum final reel diameter of 2,200 millimetre. It is equipped with a Focus electromechanical relieving system with Active Caliper Control (ACC) for perfect control of the winding parameters at high speed.

“Our target is to always invest in cutting-edge technology to be able to fulfill our customers’ requirements. Papel Aralar has served this business for 55 years and thanks to the support from Valmet, we immediately recognised the ability of their Focus electromechanical rewinder to preserve outstanding product properties,” says Senén Amunarriz Cortina, general manager of Papel Aralar.

“Valmet rewinders have a long record of successful installations, and they are well known in the market. We are proud and excited to launch the Focus machine concept in the nonwovens market and to support Papel Aralar’s plans to expand to produce excellent nonwovens products,” says Marco Capitani, product sales manager for nonwovens at Valmet.
