New winder for Papiermaschine 4 (PM4)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The system from the manufacturer Valmet that has now been commissioned comprises a two-drum winder with transfer rails and turntable for reel transport. With a net web width of 5,300 mm, the winder is designed for use with recycled liner types with a basis weight of 100 – 280 g\/m2. The maximum production speed is 2,700 m\/min. The line is equipped with a dual unwind system. This feature makes it possible to significantly reduce makeready times and thus contributes significantly to a higher performance of the winder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, the winder capacity of the line is now fit for the further increasing production output of Papiermaschine 4 (PM4). After the rebuild in 2020, PM4 will offer increased production capacity for the established grades Jade White Classic and Jade Kraft within the scope of PKV’s overall approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Papier- und Kartonfabrik Varel (PKV) will further develop the mill to a production capacity of one million tonnes of corrugated board papers as well as cardboard in the coming years. The raw material for this will remain – as it has since 1950 – recycled waste paper. At the same time, PKV continues to improve its energy efficiency through numerous investments. To strengthen and modernise the site, the company is currently implementing a seven-year strategy programme with a total volume of about 280 million euros. PKV has invested around 60 million euros of this in the now completed modernisation of line 4 (Papiermaschine 4 and associated equipment), which alone has improved the line’s capacity by around 60,000 tonnes per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
