International technology group Andritz will rebuild a paper machine at Holmen Paper’s Braviken mill in Sweden to provide maximum production flexibility. Start-up is planned for autumn 2024.
This order follows Holmen Paper’s recent successful entry into the packaging market with an innovative lightweight corrugated board product. The rebuild of PM52 will enable Holmen Paper to increase the production of fluting for corrugated boxes. Andritz will implement a sophisticated technology concept allowing to easily switch production between the different paper grades.

Andritz will provide comprehensive services for the rebuild including engineering and installation. The scope of supply includes innovative key components for several sections of the paper machine to meet Holmen’s stringent quality requirements. The heart of the rebuild is the conversion of the existing former by using the patented Andritz shoe blade forming technology for lowest MD/CD ratios. Andritz will also supply a clothing package, an extension of the distributed control system and a dilution control automation package.
Andritz Pulp & Paper provides sustainable technology, automation, and service solutions for the production of all types of pulp, paper, board and tissue.
