On June 8, 1998 the first excavator got
down to the job in Ettringen. Installation
of the new machinery should commence
in February 1999. And plant commissioning
is scheduled for the third quarter
1999. A tight schedule indeed, but the
machinery design demanded at least as
much concentrated effort.
Comprehensive optimization studies first
had to be carried out – one of the main
reasons why Voith Sulzer Paper Technology
were selected as a competent and
dependable partner for this challenging
task.

The new COMPACT PM 5 in Ettringen
represents the online machine concept of
the future for SC grades. It comprises an
optimally efficient and cost-effective
technical synthesis of well-proven system
components, logical developments
and future-oriented innovations. The
overall result is a fully integrated design
for first class end product quality.
Apart from this new PM 5, the project as
a whole also includes investments for
capacity increases and modernization of
energy supplies as well as water and
effluent systems.
