Corrugated base paper and corrugated board manufacturer Progroup has achieved a world record with its PW12 sheet feeder in Ellesmere Port, UK. With an output of 572,064 square metres in eight hours, it currently leads the world according to its own figures.
PW12 is equipped with a system from BHS Corrugated. With a working width of 3.35 metres, the corrugated board sizing plant in Ellesmere Port can produce more than 200,000 tonnes of corrugated board per year.
A series of new developments ensure a very high and constant working speed of 400 metres per minute. This speed is made possible by the highly automated control of the entire system. This also includes the conveyor technology and internal logistics.
The customised, fully automatic transport system from PW12 contributes to maximum efficiency in the processing and storage of corrugated board formats.
