Schumacher Packaging has commissioned Voith to rebuild PM 2 at its Myszków site in Poland. The line is scheduled to start up again in mid-2023 after a short rebuild period.
After the rebuild, the line will double its production capacity of light weight containerboard from 500 to 1,000 tons per day. As part of the rebuild scope, Voith will upgrade the OCC stock preparation with technologies from the BlueLine portfolio, and the paper machine will be extensively modernised with state-of-the-art machine concepts and a new VariFlex NG high-performance winder.
“We have found a perfect partner for our ambitious project with Voith,” says Björn Schumacher, CEO, Schumacher Packaging Group. “With the doubled production capacity, we enable a smooth supply chain with significantly increased planning reliability. Voith was convincing due to its market-leading technologies, many years of experience and high quality standards.”
