Kamyr Group (In the 1930s, Kamyr launched their new process for continuous bleaching. The company had an immediate success initially in Europe and later worldwide. Kamyr had a vision to introduce a process for continuous cooking of pulp. Up to this point this had been done in batches, with its drawback in quality variance and being a barrier to nonstop production of paper. It took more than ten years from the first pilot in 1940 to a fully operational unit in 1953. The first installation was able to produce 30 tons per day. A Richter digester of today will produce more than 2500 tons per day. In the following years Kamyr obtains more or less a monopoly position as no other supplier was capable of presenting something similar. Paper mills all over the world switched to continuous uninterrupted production of pulp and paper which created considerable savings and a stable quality of the end-product.) (
