Siam Kraft Industry Co. (former Thai Union Paper Industry Co.) has selected UMV as the supplier of a major coating section upgrade in their Wangsala mill PM9, located in Thailand. The 2.8 meter wide machine produces Coated Duplex board at a basis weight of 230 - 500 gsm.
The project is expected to improve production capacity and quality by replacing the Air knife in the pre-coating position with an INVO® Coater, utilizing the INVO Tip metering technology. The top coater will likewise be equipped with the INVO Tip technology. Other parts of the coating section will also be modernized..
With the startup of this project, planned for the fourth quarter of this year, UMV will have its first INVO Coater in Asia.
