Austria-Based Brigl and Bergmeister Have Entered Into a Contract with Voith

Austria-based Brigl and Bergmeister have entered into a contract with Voith to deliver a SpeedSizer applicator unit and a contactless dryer for the Niklasdorf PM 3.

The equipments will help the company increase its quality and speed of production. The rebuild will be started in the summer of 2015.

The company is part of the Roxcel Group which manufactures label papers and flexible packaging papers.

The PM 3 produces a broad range of wet-strength label papers which require a variety of demands on the applicator unit. The SpeedSizer enables targeted adjustments needed to meet the flexibility that is required for achieving a large number of different coating colours.

Apart from the SpeedSizer, the contract also included the delivery of a new CB-Turn for non-contact web turning which features a combination of infrared heaters and downstream air hood. This dryer is said to help in saving energy as the air hood is heated from the hot exhaust air of the infrared heater.

The signing of the contract culminated the extensive work, where complete process was run on Voith pilot machines which included the SpeedSizer applicator unit, offline coating machine, and supercalender.

Brigl & Bergmeister said in a statement: "Brigl & Bergmeister chose Voith as a partner for this project, because Voith has many years of experience and the corresponding major expertise for specialty paper machines. Another factor is that the SpeedSizer applicator unit is one of the proven components in the Voith portfolio."

Voith Paper is a part of the Voith Group and it works on optimising paper manufacturing process and focuses on developing resource-saving products to reduce the use of energy, water, and fibers.
