Cartiere Polesine to Install New Headbox on Containerboard Machine in Italy

Cartiere Polesine S.p.A., Italy, has ordered from Andritz, Graz, Austria, a two-layer headbox for the production of packaging grades made from 100% wastepaper. Startup is scheduled for the first quarter of 2012.

The PrimeFlow TW headbox with dilution water control (PrimeProFiler F) will be installed on the mill's single wire PM 3 for corrugating medium and double-layer testliner. With the new equipment, the machine will have a design speed of 1,200 m/min at a wire width of 3.4 m, producing packaging grades with a basis weight of 100 to 180 gsm, made from 100% wastepaper. The new headbox also enables the installation of a PrimeForm TW double layer gap former.
