Less sheet breaks and improved sheet runnability at Sejong Mill
Nov 28, 2022
Since its foundation in 1958, Asia Paper Mfg. Co. Ltd. has specialized in the production of kraft paper, gypsum linerboards and testliner. Asia Paper is highly regarded in Korea, not only as the country's first industrial enterprise, but also for the high quality of its products and modern production processes. The machine at Sejong Mill produces liner and fluting and has a targeted operation speed of 1100 m/min.
The solution makes various future development scenarios of the line possible as bottom cylinder grooving or drilling wasn´t necessary. In addition to conversion to single fabric, we have been able to reduce number of sheet breaks in the pre-dryer section and there is a strong possibility to increase machine speed.”
