Increasing production capacity by over 90 percent and switching to more economic raw materials while increasing cleanliness of the end products – these were the two goals of the Serbia based Umka d.o.o. when upgrading its BM1 cartonboard machine.
Part of the project was an upgrade of the stock preparation with an InjectaCell Compact flotation unit and InfiltraDiscfilter disc filter from Voith’s BlueLine portfolio. The whole rebuild project was part of Umka’s initiative to expand its production from approximately 105,000 tonnes per year to more than 200,000 metric tonnes.
