GAW: Coating colour preparation and working stations to Europac Group

GAW technologies was awarded with the delivery of a turn key plant for the coating colour preparation and the working stations to the speed sizer for PM2 - supplied by Voith - at the Europac Group plant Duen?as, near Valladolid, Spain. The scope of delivery will also include the starch preparation.

The coating colour kitchen will also include the GAW Conti-Mixer technology, which offers enormous advantages compared to conventional processes. The continuous preparation allows maximum solid content and high viscosities can be achieved easily at consistent quality. Significant energy savings are also possible, while loss of coating material is avoided during fast change of formulations.

Europac is investing in sustainable growth and therefore GAW technologies is already designing and building all units to manage a possible future capacity increase at any time. The PM2 has a width of 2.650 mm and will produce recycled board, it is the first time that Europac will include coating at the plant in Dueñas; the start-up is scheduled for spring 2014.
