The modernization of the 9,25 wire at PM 11 consists of headbox modification, gap former rebuild as well as press section and drying section rebuild.
The forming section rebuild with new shoe and blade forming technology will improve the end product quality of coated woodfree paper grades.
The modifications in the press section area will boost the runnability and give possibilities to widen the end product basis weight range.
The rebuilt production line will start-up during the last quarter of 2014.
This kind of line level rebuild is typically valued above EUR 20 million.
