Another important step

In order to continue the project to reactivate its PM1, GUAPI PAPÉIS has just purchased a new Fourdrinier.

The project – which will be supplied by HERGEN – includes all dewatering devices, vacuum header with the air/water separators set and control valves. The Fourdrinier frames will be prepared for the future installation of a top Fourdrinier and completely built in stainless steel, providing the machine with a longer lifespan.

The new hydraulic headbox – iNOVAFlow concept – will also be entirely built in stainless steel. The headbox feeding will be done with a radial distribution system (octopus type).

It is a virtually new machine

In 2021, GUAPI had already acquired a new press section, a new drying section and a new pope reel for its PM1, all equipment supplied by HERGEN.

Now, with the acquisition of a new Fourdrinier, it can be said that the PM1 will be a new machine, designed for a future speed of 850 to 1,000 m/min.

HERGEN/GUAPI PAPÉIS

This new project is another big step in the close partnership between the two companies.

In 2019, HERGEN supplied the new MP2 for GUAPI, a machine that has broken straight production records.

For HERGEN it is a great satisfaction to work along with GUAPI in this long term and very successful partnership. We are honored to be part of this successful story.
