Impingement Dryer Starts Up Successfully At Steinbeis Papier

The rebuild of paper machine PM 4, including a Metso-supplied OptiDry Vertical impingement dryer, has been successfully started up at Steinbeis Papier Glckstadt GmbH & Co. KG in Germany.

The rebuild of paper machine PM 4, including a Metso-supplied OptiDry Vertical impingement dryer, has been successfully started up at Steinbeis Papier Glckstadt GmbH & Co. KG in Germany.

Metso’s rebuild delivery included an OptiDry Vertical impingement dryer with a ropeless tail threading system. The new dryer gives additional drying capacity to increase the production capacity by 15% and the machine speed by 175 m/min.

The OptiDry Vertical is a rebuild concept to add drying capacity in the dryer section, thus enabling a production and speed increase without additional dryer cylinders. The unit can be installed in an existing dryer section without increasing the machine length, and with a minimal rebuild of the current dryer.

The Steinbeis Papier 4.6-meter-wide PM 4 produces magazine papers for heat set web offset printing and multi-functional papers for office use, all from 100% recovered paper, with a grammage range of 57-90 g/m².
