Dryer section rebuild for Ranheim Paper & Board

Norwegian manufacturer

Ranheim Paper & Board is having the dryer section of the PM5 at its paper mill near Trondheim in Norway rebuilt by Toscotec.

The PM5 line, which produces cardboard and solid board in the basis weight range from 220 to 540 gsm, will have its production capacity and efficiency improved when the project is completed in the third quarter of 2023.

The rebuild of PM5’s entire dryer section will have several phases. In the first phase Toscotec will supply new felt runs including stretcher and guide systems suitable for higher felt tensions, as well as some internal felt loops to deliver improved cleanliness. The associated services include complete erection with supervision, commissioning, and start-up assistance.
