The new PM2 of Kipas Kagit in Söke/Turkey announced another production record in summer of 2022: 1,965 tonnes per day of 280g Duplex Board.
GAW technologies supplied the coating kitchen, deinking, wet end chemical preparation, working stations as well as the wet grinding of GCC to this impressive production line.
It was one of the largest projects for GAW in the last year and included almost the entire portfolio of the coating and preparation technology.
From summer 2021 until beginning of 2022 the GAW scope of supply was started up step by step.
For a project of this volume and size, team work is a crucial part of the success.
Many thanks to all the staff members of the customer, Voith Paper and GAW.

The new PM 2 from Voith Paper features a very wide production and basis weights range and produces up to 700,000 tons/y of high-quality board and packaging papers with basis weights from 90 to 400 g/m2 while maintaining consistent high quality.
