Apr 22, 2013. /Lesprom Network/. Siam Kraft Industry Co., Ltd (former Thai Union Paper Industry Co., Ltd) selected UMV as the supplier of a major coating section upgrade in their Wangsala mill PM9, located in Thailand. The 2,8 m wide machine produces Coated Duplex board at a basis weight of 230 - 500 g/m², as the company said in a press release received by Lesprom Network.

The project is expected to improve production capacity and quality by replacing the Air knife in the pre-coating position with an INVO® Coater, utilizing the unique INVO® Tip metering technology. The top Coater will likewise be equipped with the INVO® Tip technology. Other parts of the coating section will also be modernized within a close cooperation between the mill’s plant management and UMV Engineers.

With the start-up of this project, planned for the 4Q 2013, UMV will have its first INVO® Coater in Asia.
