JK Paper, Ilim Group to Install New E.C.H. Will and Pemco Sheeter Lines

JK Paper, India, has purchased two cut-size lines from E.C.H. Will and Pemco, Hamburg, Germany, and Sheboygan, Wis., USA, both part of the Körber PaperLink Group. The lines are part of a mill expansion program to boost copy paper capacity. The two lines will be installed at the company's mills in Jaykaypur, Rayagada, Orissa, and are scheduled to begin operation in autumn 2012.

Both eight-pocket lines will provide the highest efficient production and quality of A4 copy papers. Each line will include six unwind stands with automatic roll change and generator brakes, dual slitter from E.C.H. Will, and a high-speed packaging line from Pemco.

Also, the Ilim Group, St. Petersburg, Russia, has invested in a folio-size sheeter from E.C.H. Will and Pemco for tits mill in Koryazhma in the Arkhangelsk region of Russia. The highly automated machine type FS has a working width of 2,200 mm and features PRO technology and non-stop, no-waste pallet changing.

Installation of the folio-size line is planned for the summer of 2012. Then the first and only plant in Russia for mark-free folio-size paper with an annual production capacity of more than 100,000 metric tons will begin operations in Koryazhma.
