Following the rebuild of the wet section of the PM4 paper machine at Cartiere Modesto Cardella S.p.A., Italy, Andritz announces the successful start-up of its first PrimeForm TW gap former. The gap former is combined in this instance with a PrimeFlow TW two-layer headbox with PrimeProfiler F dilution water control.
The concept Andritz has supplied provides high dewatering performance and production of corrugated base paper grades with a minimum of two-sidedness. Initial results after the startup show a significant improvement in paper formation and strength properties.
The paper machine has a design speed of 1,200 m/min and a wire width of 3,180 mm. The corrugated base paper, with a basis weight range of 90 to 170 gsm, is produced from 100% waste paper.
