Tasowheel received a major order from Iggesunds Bruk for refurbishing a twoheadbox slice control system. Tasowheel Systems will supply slice control automation technology to machine KM1, headboxes 2 and 3 at Iggesunds Bruk in Sweden. The delivery includes 2 x 29 new, motorized slice control actuators and the related equipment. The new actuators will replace the old, outdated pneumatic driven actuators. Tasowheel will tailor the new actuators to be mechanically fully compatible and install them as a “drop-in” replacement solution. The start-up is scheduled for week 45.
“We have worked on this project for years in a close co-operation with Iggesunds Bruk, so naturally we are very satisfied with the order. This gives us a great opportunity to show our flexibility in solving problems caused by very old technology. Replacement projects like this are definitely our core strength”, says Jukka Ahlstedt, Sales Manager of Tasowheel Systems.
Tasowheel Systems designs and produces solutions for CD profiling, as well as components, spare parts and maintenance services for paper and board processes. Over 200,000 Tasowheel actuators and dilution valves are operating in paper production processes worldwide.
