According to Recard, this will be the fourth machine it has supplied/rebuilt for Saudi Paper. The new crescent former will have a 2,750 mm net sheet width and a new steel yankee and yankee dryer hood. It will receive new drives and a new electrical plant, including a distributed control system (DCS). The upgrade will double the slitting rewinder capacity.
The delivery is scheduled for June-July of this year, with startup set for December.
