Brazil’s COBAP completed the modernization process of its PM#1. Hergen has supplied a set of equipment for the modernization of the press section and the installation of a new drive concept for the drying section.
The upgrade project provided by Hergen focused on increasing production capacity by increasing the dry content arriving to the drying section, enabling the machine to operate at 600 m/min in the future.
The machine received a new wet press section with the “JUMBO PRESS” concept, with the first press rolls with a diameter of 840 mm, and the second press rolls with a diameter of 1200 mm and respective NIP loads of 200 kN/m and 300 kN/m.
According to the engineer responsible for the project assembly, commissioning and start-up, “The machine is in the optimization stage and is gradually increasing its speed, moving forward on its learning curve towards its performance indicators, energy efficiency and production increase.”
COBAP is a corrugated cardboard box company that offers packaging solutions, located in the city of Maracanaú state of Ceará, Brazil.
