“The entire rebuild was done in a very short time frame,” confirms Maria Berzosa, who is responsible for the project at Europac in Dueñas.
The Europac Group had opted for a rebuild in order to produce also white coated testliner in the future. This was achieved by installing a Voith SpeedSizer, which applies a uniform, flawless film for sizing and coating, and systematically improves paper characteristics, penetration and surface coverage.
As well as the SpeedSizer, the scope of supply included a starch and coating colour preparation unit and a CB-Turn for non-contact turning of the paper web. The PM 2 has a production capacity of 150,000 metric tons per year of brown, white and white coated testliner at an operating speed of 1,100 m/min.
Europac Papel Dueñas is part of the Europac Group (Papeles y Cartones de Europa, S.A.) which operates in the entire supply chain of the paper and packaging industry.
Voith Paper is a division of the Voith Group and the leading partner to and pioneer in the paper industry.
