Valmet to deliver a new digester top separator to Södra Cell’s Mönsterås Mill in Sweden

Södra Cell made the investment decision after Valmet performed a mechanical lifecycle analysis on the digester during the mill’s annual shutdown in 2022. The new digester top separator will lengthen the lifespan of the digester originally installed in 1979.

“Keeping our machine line in good condition is the key to creating a safe work environment for our employees and further improving our performance. Thanks to Valmet’s lifecycle analysis, the digester top separator will now be renewed on time, contributing to the safety and reliability of the machine line,” says Johan Carlstroem, Maintenance Engineer at Södra Mönsterås.

“We are very happy that Södra Cell’s Mönsterås Mill chose Valmet as a supplier for this top separator replacement. Renewing parts that have reached the end of their lifecycle improves the safety of the mill, and in this case, it also simplifies the daily maintenance as the modern design of the new top separator enables using the same spare parts for the mill’s both digesters,” says Mattias Carlsson, Product Sales Manager, Pulp Solutions, EMEA at Valmet.

Valmet’s delivery includes a new digester top separator with modern design to the mill’s digester 4. The renewal will lengthen the lifespan of the digester and contribute to the overall safety of the mill.
