Australian Paper to Install New PMP Hydrauic Headbox at Maryville Mill

PMP (Paper Machinery Producer), Poland, has signed a contract with Australian Paper for delivery of an Intelli-Jet V® hydraulic headbox for its No.2 paper machine (PM 2), located in Morwell, Australia. The new headbox is an investment in the future operating performance of PM 2.

The project goal is to exchange the existing headbox for a PMP Intelli-Jet V hydraulic headbox. Australian Paper chose PMP’s Intelli-Jet V hydraulic headbox based on its high performance and impressive references. The project drivers are based on machine maintenance and quality, achieved through the application of state-of-the-art technology.

The scope of delivery is for a 5-meter Intelli-Jet V hydraulic headbox, which is a part of PMP’s Intelli-Paper® platform for papermakers. Currently there are 138 Intelli-Jet V headboxes working successfully on six continents.

PMP looks forward to supporting Australian Paper through the entire project process. The delivery, installation, and startup are scheduled for the first quarter of 2018.
