Siam Kraft Industry Co., Ltd (former Thai Union Paper Industry Co., Ltd) selected UMV as the supplier of a major coating section upgrade in their Wangsala Mill PM#9, located in Thailand.
The 2,8 m wide machine produces Coated Duplex board at a basis weight of 230 - 500 g/m².
The project is expected to improve production capacity and quality by replacing the Air knife in the pre-coating position with an INVO Coater, utilizing the unique INVO Tip metering technology. The top Coater will likewise be equipped with the INVO Tip technology. Other parts of the coating section will also be modernized within a close cooperation between the mill’s plant management and UMV Engineers.
With the start-up of this project, planned for the 4th quarter of 2013, UMV will have its first INVO Coater in Asia.
