Papier AG in Austria, part of the Heinzel Group, has reportedly helped underpin the success of its two SC paper machines. Laakirchen Papier is regarded as a benchmark for high-quality magazine paper production and the Janus Mk2 offline multi-nip calender is a key part of the system. “The calender is running close


to its design speed. We can thus increase the efficiency and availability of the Janus only by improving the running intervals of its covers,” said Roland Stadlhuber, the production engineer responsible for the calender at Laakirchen Papier. NanoPro, which was developed in close collaboration with leading calender operators, is designed for just such applications, says Voith. “With its wear resistance and


the special vibration dampening base layer, it clearly allows more projectable and more reliable running times in critical positions. NanoPro Papier has had its longest run times with


Oulu mill being modernised by Stora Enso


Stora Enso has ordered equipment for the modernisation of the fibreline at its Oulu mill in Finland. Objective of the project is to improve operational cost efficiency by reducing energy and chemical consumption. The modernised plant will be started up in two phases in 2014 and 2015.
