Pasaban upgraded non-woven paper winder at Papel Aralar's facility in Spain.

Paper and board sheeters and winders more than 10 years old, usually need to be refurbished in order to improve their efficiency. For this reason, upgrading this type of machines is the best option, as the return on investment is short-term. 

“The upgrade has been a complete success. Thanks to the automations installed, format changing times and reel loading times have been significantly reduced.” These are the words of satisfaction for the work carried out at the Basque mill Papel Aralar. One of the first manufacturers in the world to produce 100% flushable paper, which is natural, biodegradable and can be flushed down the toilet.

In 2015 Pasaban supplied a BM3600 winder for the non-woven paper production line. After 6 years of operation, and after having seen the need to automate several of the machine groups, the areas of improvement have consisted in; automating the longitudinal cut to save time in format changes and installing an automatic empty pope reel ejector, allowing time-saving when loading new reels.
