Parts of the upgraded PM will come from a paper machine which Hamburg Austria Containerboard (also a subsidiary of the Prinzhorn Holding) shut down at its Frohnleiten mill in 2013. The move and modernize project is a Bellmer speciality. Most of PM 3’s output in Corlu is testliner and fluting. With a width of 2550 mm, the system is narrower than the machine in Frohnleiten, but the necessary adjustments will be made by Bellmer. The Bellmer scope of delivery includes the dismantling of the Frohnleitner press section including shoe press, pope reeler and slitter rewinder.
The overhaul of these key components will be carried out in Niefern. The rest of the project comprises new frame elements for the wire and press section, a new transfer stabilizer in the dryer section and new control software. The reassembly of the overhauled components and “made in Niefern” new parts will take place in the 4Q 2014 in Corlu.
