Metso supplies vertical dryer to Steinbeis Temming in Germany
JYVASKYLA, Finland, June 05, 2008 (Press Release) - Metso Paper will deliver an OptiDry Vertical impingement dryer to paper machine PM 4 of Steinbeis Temming Papier GmbH & Co. in Glückstadt, Germany. The start-up of the dryer is scheduled for May 2009.
The OptiDry Vertical dryer will give more drying capacity in the pre-dryer section, thus enabling an increase of approximately 20% in the production capacity. PM 4 produces magazine papers for heat set web offset printing and multi-functional papers for office use, all from 100 % recovered paper, with a grammage range of 57 - 90 g/m2. The machine width is 4.6 m.
The OptiDry Vertical is a rebuild concept to add drying capacity in the dryer section, thus enabling a production and speed increase without additional dryer cylinders. The unit can be installed in an existing dryer section without increasing the machine length, and with a minimal rebuild of the current dryer.
