The mill’s goal in the rebuild is to increase paper machine speed up to 750 m/min. and its annual production up to 50,000 metric tons. The new headbox is expected to improve paper quality and enable operation at higher machine speeds.
The PMP Intelli-Jet V hydraulic headbox is characterized by operational friendly construction and stainless long-term durability. The headbox will be about 3,100 mm wide and equipped with a consistency profiling system, which assures control over the basis weight, resulting uniform paper web structure, and better CD basis weight profile. The Intelli-Jet V hydraulic headbox will be equipped with four rows of headbox tubes.
Delivery of the PMP Intelli-Jet V hydraulic headbox is scheduled on the first half of 2014. In addition, PMP will supervise the assembly process and the startup of the hydraulic unit.
