Print Print this article | Send to Colleague

Stora Enso Sachsen, Germany, has ordered from Voith Paper, Germany, the rebuild of its Eilenburg PM 1. PM 1 produces newsprint and telephone directory paper in a basis-weight range of 34 - 48.8 gsm from 100% recovered paper.

The rebuild includes the former, press, dryer section, as well as calender and air system. A new NipcoFlex press will be installed and the existing calender will be rebuilt to a Janus calender by reusing some of the existing components.

The PM 1 project goal is to improve Stora Enso Sachsen's paper quality as well as runnability. Additionally, the operating speed of the production line will increase to 2,000 m/min. The rebuild is scheduled for May 2012.
