Hansol Coater Rebuild to Allow Thermal Paper Production

Print Print this article | Send to Colleague

Hansol Paper Co., Seoul, South Korea, has ordered from Metso, Finland, the rebuild of an off-machine coater for the coated woodfree paper production line at its Changhang mill in South Korea. The rebuilt production line will be fully operational during 2013. The value of the order was not disclosed.

"The main target of the rebuild is to convert the production line to also produce thermal paper grades. As a result of the rebuild, the mill will be capable of flexibly changing production between coated woodfree grades and thermal paper grades," said Pekka Turtinen, Metso's senior sales manager.

Metso's delivery will include a curtain coating unit, a soft calender, a reel, and a moisturizer for curl control. The new curtain coating unit applies a thin thermal coating layer on the web in a non-contacting operation.

Hansol Paper produces printing papers, industrial papers, and specialty papers, including thermal papers, pressure sensitive papers, fancy papers, and inkjet papers.
