This project is being realized in cooperation with PAPCEL subsidiary in India, which has been operating in the market for more than 5 years.
The paper mill NEPA operates two paper machines producing paper of width 5.350 mm on reel. Both machines will produce paper with a substance of 40 - 45 g/m2 for newsprint or 50 - 80 g/m2 for graphic paper.
After the upgrade, the PM 1 will reach the output of up to 231 tpd (under the maximum operation speed of 700 m/min) and the PM 2 up to 129 tpd (under the maximum speed of 400 m/min).
Both machines are expected to improve significantly the drainage process efficiency in the wet parts. The drying parts will undergo major renovations in order to increase the output and decrease the energy consumption per ton of the paper produced.
Apart from the paper machine upgrade, the PM approach flow system will be modified and the line for broke processing and the water management system will be supplied as well as stock preparation line and line for preparation of chemicals.
PAPCEL is the general supplier of this project; it provides complete engineering and project management services, controls the assembly and performs the commissioning and the guarantee tests. The assembly will be carried out by local companies.
The company NEPA Ltd. is a state paper group, located in Nepangar, Madhya Pradesh state.
