Longview Fibre Paper and Packaging, Longview, Wash., USA, has successfully started up its new PMP Italia (Italy) ÆGO™FLX SHOE press. The new press was part of PMT's rebuild of the mill's PM 11 press section. The press section was upgraded to improve quality and production of sack kraft paper. The results of the upgrade are meeting expectations, the mill reports.

The scope of the rebuild included a new ÆGO™FLX SHOE module mated to a ceramic coated ÆGO™FLX ROLL with a new double doctor. The equipment was successfully delivered, installed, and started up under a tight schedule.
