ZAOR "Narodnoye Predpriyatie Naberezhnye Chelny Paper Mill" named after S.P. Titov," Russia, has started up its PM K-28 paper machine following a major rebuild by Andritz, Graz, Austria. Saleable paper was quickly achieved, beginning with the second reel produced. The machine has a design speed of 800 m/min and a width of 4.75 m.  It produces testliner and kraftliner.

 

For the rebuild, Andritz supplied two new PrimeFlow SW headboxes with PrimeProFiler dilution control, two PrimeForm fourdriniers, and added a new press with a PrimePress X shoe press in the second position. PrimeRun M web stabilizers and a new QCS system were also installed, as well as two new paper machine approach systems and a broke pulper. New process pumps from Andritz will help to further raise efficiency.
