A tailored solution with flexible and variable capacity can help balance supply and demand, leading to optimized dewatering and minimized power consumption,” says Jussi Lahtinen, Sales Director, Runtech Systems.

“Runtech vacuum system concept is very interesting for us because by using Ecoflows we can actually see how much vacuum is needed. We started the project by doing a Runtech vacuum audit and after that pre-engineering including the 3D scan and 3D modelling of the existing vacuum system. Pre-engineering gave us all necessary information to calculate the project costs and ROI accurately. Now we are able to execute the project much quicker when a big part of the engineering is already done so good pre-engineering saves also time,” says Peter Donnelly, Mill Manager, Sonoco Board Mill, Stainland, Halifax.
