Voith recently reached a deal with Copamex of Monterrey, México, for the installation of a BlueLine stock preparation system at their mill in Anáhuac, which is being converted to drive Copamex’s growth into the containerboard and packaging markets in México. Previously, Copamex focused on printing and writing grade paper, but the new BlueLine stock preparation system is a key step in their expansion plans. The system will utilise a variety of raw material including OCC and mixed waste.
“By partnering with Voith, we’re working with the company that has the most knowledge in processing highly contaminated furnish and this will assist us with successfully launching our growth in the containerboard and packaging markets in México,” said Alonso González, CEO, Copamex.
As the a full-line supplier, Voith and MERI will be providing Copamex with all of the elements of the stock preparation system, including reliable material handling with automatic wire cutting, reject compactors, sludge handling, water clarification and effluent treatment. When the new stock preparation system starts up in early 2019, the mill will output 260,000 tpa of testliner and corrugated medium.
With its BlueLine Portfolio Voith is a full-line supplier of stock preparation components.
