Smurfit Kappa Italia has successfully started up its PM3 at Ponte all'Ania mill, after a dryer section rebuild supplied by Toscotec, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
The scope of the delivery was an advanced mechanical transmission section in “silent drive” with a new frame on the drive side for the whole machine, the installation of uni-run vacuum rolls in the first drying battery and an automatic air paper threading system in the first two drying sections and on the size press. The modification has completely changed the dryer section layout with the relocation of fabric rolls, improving machine runnability and reducing noise and vibration.
Toscotec service specialists have provided the complete mechanical erection and supervision of the project and the commissioning and start up assistance for the fine-tuning of the new equipment.
Smurfit Kappa Ania is one of the main producers of recycled paper jumbo rolls in Italy. The mill operates two paper machines, which produce corrugated cardboard packaging in a wide range of paper grades out of recycled fibers.
Since 1948, Toscotec is a leader supplier offering proprietary solution from complete production lines to rebuild, modernization projects and even single components.
