At the Kondopoga pulp and paper mill, a bark press (machine for squeezing water from bark) manufactured by the Finnish company Saalasti was repaired. The work was carried out by specialists from Naska.
The recreation of parts became possible after 3D scanning, which allows preparing its design and construction documentation based on a three-dimensional model of the object.
Sergey Baydin, Managing Director of the enterprise, stated that this was a successful reverse engineering experience. Over the past two years, as part of the import substitution program, the Kondopoga PPM has replaced most Western products with Russian ones or those from friendly countries.
Naska previously supplied and serviced Saalasti equipment in Russia as an official dealer. However, after the Finns refused to cooperate, specialists had to work with other partners. Thanks to professional cooperation, Naska developed drawings of the necessary components, manufactured them, and integrated them into the bark press.
