Cartones Ponderosa, S.A. de C.V., Mexico, has contracted Metso, Finland, to rebuild the folding boxboard machine at its San Juan del Río mill in Mexico. Startup of rebuilt PM 1 is scheduled for the second quarter of 2012. The value of the order was not disclosed.
Metso's delivery will include rebuilds of the coating and drying sections. Drying capacity will be increased with two OptiDry Vertical impingement dryers, enabling both a production and a speed increase. Replacing the coating station with an OptiLayer curtain coater and a new coating color supply system will further improve the folding boxboard quality. The rebuilt PM 1 will produce folding boxboard in the basis weight range of 235 to 490 gsm.
Cartones Ponderosa, S.A. de C.V. is the leading producer of coated cardboard in Mexico. The company produces more than 50% of the total Mexican recycled coated board made, and is the only exporter in its field.
