Propapier: Valmet-supplied PM2 sets another world speed record speed

The Valmet-supplied containerboard base paper machine at Propapier PM2 GmbH in Eisenhüttenstadt, Germany, set a 24-hour world speed record of 1,704 m/min on April 24.

 
 

During the record run, the 10.85 m-wide PM2 produced corrugating medium at basis weight of 70g/m2 with a total efficiency of 96%. The Propapier PM2 was originally started up in March 2010. This was already the fourth 24-hour world speed record set by Propapier PM2.

"Our PM2 has now produced four consecutive world records. This is a proof that our people and the technology fit together in an optimal way, because being successful once or a few times might be by accident or good luck but being successful over and over again requires true competence and diligent work. I am confident that this was not our last world record", says Jürgen Heindl, CEO of Progroup AG.
