PMT Starts Up a New Secondary Headbox


Bolton, Lancashire, England 23 August 2012 --  PMT has recently started up a new, approximately 6 m wide, secondary Headbox on a North American Linerboard machine, replacing an existing, older secondary Headbox. Identity and location of the Paper Mill are confidential and cannot be disclosed. The replacement of the old headbox was quickly accomplished during a normal maintenance shutdown.

Quality improvements in sheet uniformity, expected with the new Headbox, were quickly realized.  The customer is an industry leader in unbleached paper and packaging, providing best value proposition to its customers through quality products, innovation and a strong financial portfolio.

This new successful project represents for PMT another step beyond in the opening of new territories and an opportunity to widen its customer portfolio worldwide.
