POM approach flow system for Smurfit Kappa Mexico

AFT is delivering a complete approach flow system to the Smurfit Kappa board mill in Cerro Gordo, Mexico.

We were pleased to host mill representatives on a visit to our Varkaus Service Center, providing an opportunity to tour our facility and inspect their equipment – including a new MaxFlow™ HB 2200 headbox screen and POMp™ degassers. “Everything we saw was great. We really liked the quality of manufacture, welding, and design”, remarked Alberto Monterrubio, Process Engineer (Projects & Engineering) for Smurfit Kappa Mexico.

In addition to the new approach flow system, AFT is also supplying system engineering, conceptual 3D layout and piping, and on-site services. Designed with ease of maintenance, process optimization, and reduced power consumption in mind, all AFT products are supported by our global team of process and service experts.

We are pleased to have been selected for this project and look forward to bringing the new equipment online safely and efficiently for Smurfit Kappa, a leading global provider of sustainable packaging solutions.
