ESPOO, Finland, Oct. 4, 2017 (Press Release) -The three Valmet IQ Moisturizers delivered to Dunapack Mosburger's corrugated line in Strasswalchen, Austria, have been successfully started up. With the new solutions, the plant will be able to improve corrugated box quality and plant performance.

Since 2012-2013, Dunapack Packaging has invested more than EUR 30 million in its Mosburger Strasswalchen production site, including a new 2.8-meter-wide corrugated line.

"Higher quality, more diverse papers together with improved production and smaller, just-in-time orders make it more and more challenging to act against warp with standard temperature, speed and glue settings. We were looking for a device to do it. When Valmet presented its control technology that is widely proven in paper production, we were convinced that this will work on our corrugated line, too," says August Hauser, Corrugated Line Manager at Dunapack Mosburger Strasswalchen.

"Valmet's IQ quality control solutions are established on paper machines worldwide. However, it takes innovative people to adopt them in the converting and corrugated industry, too. Innovation is definitely an attitude shown by the Dunapack Mosburger team," summarizes Christian Kallich, Country Manager, Austria and Eastern Europe, Automation, Valmet.

Technical information about Valmet IQ Moisturizer

The Valmet IQ Moisturizer profiler is used to correct all kinds of warping, decrease cracking tendency and optimize glue consumption by adding a fine and controlled water mist onto the liners with 60 mm or 120 mm resolution in a cross direction. IQ Moisturizer's two-stage spray head contributes to a balanced and application-matched mixture of air and water. The system is used via an IQ Moisturizer operator interface and integrated into the existing process controls.

"Our investment program will even further these strengths for the Hungarian market."

The Dunapack Nyíregyháza (PCR) plant was built in 1971, primarily to supply the local agricultural production with paper-based packaging materials. During the last 20 years the plant has expanded to supply a wide range of industrial clients in Hungary and the neighboring countries with top-quality packaging solutions. The planned upgrading of machinery and infrastructure will allow a substantial widening of the range of packaging production and an outreach to new markets and client segments. It will also decrease the amounts of waste caused by production and lower maintenance costs. "Further increasing our production capacity and improving our quality as well as our productivity and operational safety will strengthen our competivity on the currently very sharp packaging market in Hungary and CEE", says Alexander Enzenberg; Managing Director of Dunapack Packaging.

The upgrading program foresees a new packaging machine, a new print unit, new splicers, web and steam controlling system for the corrugator as well as a modernization of the internal material handling and the flexographic printing and improvements with box making.
