Sheeter: KP 4200

Material: Dissolving pulp
Width : 4,200mm
Speed: 250m/min
Degree of automation: Top of the range

PASABAN has finished the production of and successfully completed the tests on the KP 4200 sheeter using material sent by its client at the Tolosa plant (Spain). This is the best news we can get from a client: its satisfaction.

Rayonier Inc. is a US company that makes special, high-quality and high-value added celluloses and sits at the top of the value chain as the leader in the market. Its strategy for the future revolves around dissolving pulp.

The company has invested in cutting-edge machinery in order to remain at the forefront of the market in terms of both quality and productivity and to convey these values to its clients by providing them with a finished product that is, qualitatively-speaking, highly superior.

As part of this strategy, the company commissioned PASABAN to build the KP 4200 sheeter, which will be capable of finishing cellulose bales (stacks) with a high cutting and stacking quality, thus representing a big differentiating leap in the market and for its client.

QUALITY

The KP 4200 sheeter is provided with a cutting block having a blade width of 4,300 mm, which makes it one of the widest synchronised cutting blocks in the market. This will allow standard cutting qualities to be obtained for the entire PASABAN range.

• Cutting block load under the blades: 1,800gsm
• Sheet cutting quality: ±0.5mm.
• The sheets are not pressure-damaged: sheet splices, fish-eyes, cutting lumps, etc.
• Dust suctioner.

PRODUCTIVITY

The KP 4200 sheeter is designed to work with reels measuring 4,200mm in width and 2,750mm in diameter and allows two webs to be simultaneously cut in order to substantially increase the output of finish product. Considering that the product’s density can range from 650 to 900gsm, this demands a lot from the cutting system, whose tests the PASABAN cutting block passed with flying colours.

To this end it is equipped with:

• Unwind stands: 4
• Regenerative brakes: They increase the quality of tension control and do not require any kind of maintenance.
• Automatic web feed roller to the cutting block. This system enhances work safety and increases productivity, which simplifies the job of operators to a great extent.
• PASABAN dual-rotary blade cutting block (synchronised).
• Operating speed: 250m/min
• Bale changeover at maximum speed without sheet loss.

FLEXIBILITY

Due to its large size (4,200mm in width), the machine has been provided with automatic positioning systems so as to drastically reduce the time required for format changeover, which can now be done in 1,5 minutes.

To this end, it has the following automatic positioning systems:

• Slitting.
• Decurlers.
• Crosswise cutting.
• Overlap.
• Spacers, belts, etc. the exit of the positioning stacks being fully automatic.

PASABAN has set a new sheeter standard for the cellulose industry which has a greater blade-cutting capacity and a degree of automation and flexibility never seen before, thereby resulting in an increase in productivity that will boost our clients’ profits and in turn will help them to make finished goods of a quality that will redound to their clients’ advantage.

Once again, PASABAN has managed to anticipate a future need by producing a model for companies that want to remain being leaders in their product segment. PASABAN is, without a doubt, the best technology partner in the cellulose, paper and cardboard industries.
