Propapier PM 2 - Progress exactly according to plan
Jul 25, 2018
Propapier produces high-quality corrugated board base papers exclusively on the basis of waste paper. Propapier supplies a wide range of different paper types. The special technology of PM 2 makes it possible to produce lightweight, fibre-saving Next Fibre® papers for lighter and yet equally efficient corrugated boards.
“The last 24-hour world record of 1,751 m/min was set on 30 August 2019. During the record run, the 10.85-metre-wide PM 2 produced corrugating medium at a basis weight of 80 g/m² with an overall efficiency of 94% and it was now the seventh 24-hour PM2 world record overall.”
