Converting capacity increase for HexaSolutions in France
H
exaSolutions, a paper and board converter at Château-Thierry in the Champagne region
of France, has invested in a new eCon synchro knife folio sheeter supplied by BW Papersystems’ brand MarquipWardUnited. It means that the rising demand
for high quality stacks, with weights ranging from 100 g/sqm in paper up to 400 g/sqm in board, HexaSolutions will be able to provide its customers with press ready stacks with superior cut and stack quality and the quick delivery they need. “The cut quality and the wide spectrum of production capacities of the eCon sheeter were really the key factors of this investment,” said Christophe Kopp, managing
July/August 2017
director of HexaSolutions. “As a converter, we should
provide the best stack quality and the best delivery time for our customers based around Paris, so we were convinced to make the right choice with BW Papersystems equipment.”
This new eCon folio sheeter has
a 1,650 mm working width, is equipped with four unwinds and features the MarquipWardUnited knife technology with a maximum knife load of 1,000 g/sqm for flexibly converting a wide range of products.
HexaSolutions is also planning
to double its production from 5,000 tons to 10,000 tons per year and to become the leading paper and board converter for Paris and its suburbs. “Our eCon sheeter will be the
most modern sheeter installed in a paper converting plant in France, and so with this new investment our target is to establish ourselves as a premium folio sheet supplier,” concludes Kopp. MarquipWardUnited says
the sheeter delivered to HexaSolutions in France is the seventh installation in Europe, with more installations to come in the next few months. BW Papersystems is part of the Barry-Wehmiller group.
