PMT to Supply Major Sections of Hiang Seng Liner Machine in Thailand

PMT Italia, Italy, will provide key sections for the new Hiang Seng Fibre Container Co PM 5 to be installed at the company’s mill in Samut Sakorn, Thailand. The machine, with a 6.2-meter-wide wire and a design speed of 900 m/min, will produce premium quality liner and fluting, mainly using local OCC.

The project is expected to improve Hiang Seng’s production capacity as well as to consolidate its position on the market as a premium quality paperboard supplier.

The project includes a new forming section along with two new headboxes, ÆGO™STREAM S, one which is equipped with a Smarpro L dilution system.

A top forming unit, ÆGO™FORM T, and new drainage tables will be installed. The press section will be equipped with an ÆGO™FLX SHOE press while the dry end of the machine will see a new ÆGO™SIZER P and paper run optimization along the dryer section with new Smarstabi boxes and Smarstabi rolls. A new ÆGO™WINDER 6000 will complete the scope.

Other parts of the machine will also be upgraded in close cooperation between Hiang Seng’s and PMT’s engineers
