The Kemi paperboard mill is one of the world's largest producers of coated white top kraftliner. The development program will increase Kemi’s annual production capacity of white kraftliners to 465,000 tons, with the majority be- ing sold in Europe and North America. The development program for the board mill consisted of three parts: increasing the annual production capacity of white kraftliner by 40,000 tons, improving energy and water efficiency and transferring the unbleached pulp pro- duction line to Metsä Board. A new, larger-capacity disc filter has been built at the board mill, resulting in a more closed water circulation and a savings in water consumption. The mill's new heat re- covery towers capture waste heat from the process and recycle it back into the system. The supply of top layer birch pulp of the liner from the bioproduct mill as dried form in the future will help in- crease both the energy and production efficiency of the board machine. To allow for the increase in production capacity, the board machine and finishing operations have been mod- ernized and production has been streamlined. Changes include the increase of the winder capacity, the automatic transfer of machine reels from the board machine to wind- er, fully automated reel loading and a new logistics chain between the deep-water port of Ajos in Kemi. Metsä Fibre's unbleached pulp production line will be transferred to Metsä Board in a modernized state. The pro- duction line will have an annual capacity of 180,000 tons of softwood pulp, which will be used in the bottom layer of the Kemi kraftliner.
