Favini starts up shoe press

The SMARNIP® Shoe Press supplied by PMT Italia S.p.A. to Favini Rossano Veneto machine # 3, Italy, has been started up with success on January 4th 2011.

Few hours after the start up of the machine with the SMARNIP® in operation, the Favini managers have confirmed their satisfaction for the results. The production has been immediately increased by 8 ÷12% maintaining the fine paper high quality standards.

The press rebuild has been managed in a relatively short time thanks to the great cooperation between the Favini and the PMT teams, allowing to meet the programmed shut down and start-up timing.

Also in this case the modularity and the compactness of the SMARNIP® Shoe Press resulted to be the key factor to apply the shoe press technology in a machine with limited space.

For PMT this is the reference number 14, where the SMARNIP® Shoe Press has been applied, in addition to the (53) references where PMT supplied the standard PMT-Shoe Press. The PMT experience in the pressing technology, in four different continents, has been confirmed once more finding the right solution for the specific case.
