Key material handling systems for Stora Enso’s billion-euro investment project at the Oulu mill
Conversion of an idle paper machine into a consumer board production line
Overview
- Year of delivery: 2024-2025
- Plant: Oulu mill, Conversion of an idle paper machine into a consumer board production line
- Fuel: Material to be handled is mostly wood chips and bark
Scope
- Fuel receiving system for side tipping trucks, automatic sampling system
- Conveyors to open fuel yard and boiler, biomass stacker and screw reclaimer under fuel yard storage pile
- Erection and commissioning of new truck receiving building with a dust removal system, equipment, instrumentation, and piping
Oulu Project Overview
This project represents a big step for sustainable and efficient material handling in the pulp and paper industry. We supplied a fuel receiving system for side-tipping trucks. Our package also included an automatic sampling system. We provided conveyors to move biomass to the open fuel yard and boiler. Additionally, there is a biomass stacker and a screw reclaimer under the storage pile. These solutions help Stora Enso handle fuel smoothly and efficiently at their upgraded facility.
Laitex not only supplied key material handling systems but also handled the entire setup and commissioning of the equipment. Our team has designed and built a new truck receiving building equipped with an advanced dust removal system to improve operational safety and reduce emissions. We have also provided equipment instrumentation and piping, ensuring seamless integration of the fuel handling system with Stora Enso’s operations.
