The overall need and consumption of mill pressurised air will decrease due to improved runnability with less web breaks and thus also time needed for tail threading operations BillerudKorsnäs Pietarsaari PM1 in Finland, and Burgo Duino PM3 in Italy. By the end of 2017, there were about 20 references for different paper and board grade installations in operation. Among other benefits, these installations have given customers a tool to further optimise productivity through reduced draw (having a very positive impact on end product properties and furnish concepts), less web breaks, reduced tail threading times or, alternatively, the possibility to increase production speed whilst simultaneously avoiding sheet fluttering problems. BillerudKorsnäs Pietarsaari PM 1 in Finland (Specialty and industrial packaging) was able to reduce draw by as much as 25% between the press and dryer section. Also, elongation of the sheet increased by 33%. After the modification, there were no further web breaks reported in the upgraded area. free installations. The overall need and consumption of mill pressurised air will decrease due to improved runnability with less web breaks and thus also time needed for tail threading operations.
