Mondi Štětí Starts up PM 7 Packaging Paper Machine

Mondi Štětí, Czech Republic, and Andritz, Austria, have successfully started up the new PM 7. The machine will produce mostly packaging paper grades.
 

 
In addition to supplying a new headbox (PrimeFlow SW) with PrimeProFiler dilution control, a new shoe press module was added in the press section to create a three-nip press with shoe press (PrimePress Trix) for efficient dewatering. A new micro-creping unit (PrimeUnit MC), a new PrimeCal X shoe calender for high smoothness, and a new rewinder were also installed. The dryer section was split into a pre- and an after-dryer section, including a new complete hood. 
 
Mondi Štětí is a global producer of packaging paper.
