This meant that the machine was back in production one day sooner than planned.

“In Voith we had a reliable partner at our side during this project. The entire rebuild was done in a very short time frame,” confirms Maria Berzosa, who is responsible for the project at Europac in Dueñas and continues: “Very quickly, the PM 2 was producing again top-quality packaging paper.”

The Europac Group had opted for a rebuild in order to produce also white coated testliner in the future. This was achieved by installing a Voith SpeedSizer, which applies a uniform, flawless film for sizing and coating, and systematically improves paper characteristics, penetration and surface coverage.
