A specialist developer of automation technology for the pulp and paper industry, Valmet, is to work with Spinnova to deliver processing equipment to customers of the cellulosic fibre company.

Spinnova has developed a technique, based on fibre suspension flows, to make textile fibres from micro-fibrillated cellulose from paper-grade wood pulp. The technique involves mechanically pulping the fibres and controlling the flow in such a way as to form a yarn without using any complex chemical processes.
