Stora Enso opts for GFS PRO folio-size sheeter from E.C.H. Will

Hamburg / Oulu, Finland, March 28, 2007 - Stora Enso, global market leader for paper, packaging and forest products, has extended their folio-size production capacity by purchasing a GFS PRO folio-size sheeter from E.C.H.
Will, a company of the Körber PaperLink Group. The new converting line will be installed at the Stora Enso site in Oulu, Finland, one of the largest state-of-the-art paper mills for coated wood-free fine papers.

The integrated mark-free sheeting technology from E.C.H. Will was crucial for this investment in high-performance sheeting. The new sheet transport and overlapping system guarantees mark-free converting of sensitive paper and board grades. Stora Enso will almost exclusively convert high-quality coated paper on the new line and this consequently will make high demands on product quality.

The GFS PRO will be delivered with a working width of 2820 mm and an unwind concept for an eight-web production process. The cross cutter has a knife load of > 1000 g/m2.

"The low noise level with a maximum of 82 dB (A) is very operator-friendly and due to its operating and design concept, the GFS PRO offers easy maintenance and fast changeover times. The high level of automation guarantees an efficient production process. Our decision to acquire the new sheeter is an investment in the future", explains Jaakko Hettula, Production Manager, Stora Enso Oulu.

Klaus Aarestrup, Managing Director of E.C.H. Will notes that "Stora Enso is the third global paper producer opting for our new GFS PRO high-performance sheeter. This shows that this machine concept fulfills the needs of large paper mills and their demands for high efficiency and product quality, especially when it comes to coated paper grades."
