Valmet Paper Lab Photography | Valmet's Automated Paper Testing Laboratory

In the first half of the year, I had an interesting shoot at a Valmet Automation client site — Stora Enso's Veitsiluoto mill in Kemi. I captured both photos and video footage of the Valmet Paper Lab testing laboratory in operation, as well as interviews for the video production.

"Valmet's automated paper testing laboratory provides paper and board manufacturers with tools for quality management and process optimisation. In addition to dedicated laboratories, paper and board testing is increasingly being carried out directly alongside the production line. Fast and reliable test results allow necessary adjustments to be made to the production process quickly, enabling the continued manufacture of paper and board that meets specifications. This has a direct impact on optimal use of raw materials and energy, as well as minimising environmental effects," says Jukka Nokelainen, Business Manager for Valmet's paper analysers. — Source: Valmet press release 2016.

The finished video produced from the footage is available to watch on Valmet's YouTube channel.
