Pilot Plants

A pilot plant is a research tool that enables theories, materials and process technology to be tested under real­istic conditions.

FEX: a unique pilot papermaking facility

Our papermaking pilot plant, FEX, is used by the pulp and paper industry, often in cooperation with suppliers to the industry, to test different modes of operation, raw materials and process equipment. FEX customers have verified that the results from test runs on the FEX paper machine also are valid for a full-size paper machine.

 

Packaging pilot plant

We also have a packaging pilot plant, built for experimentation on new packaging solutions. It gives you a wide range of tools to test your lab results on a larger scale.
