Project will prepare the machine to increase its production of high quality papers



To approach this objective, a Crescent Former (as PM3 and PM 4) will replace the Fourdrinier and the whole installation will receive a series of betterment, thus enabling an increase in the machine working speed from 600 m/min to 1000 m/min

Besides the speed increase that will result in more production, the project will also result in a better quality of the paper produced, especially double sheet, expanding Copapa’s production capacity in this field
