A key component of this project is the new PrimeForm TW shoe-blade gap former and PrimeFlow AT headbox with accelerating trapezoid tubes, which significantly enhances jet quality, fiber dispersion, and fiber orientation.

Combined with a press section modification that boosts dryness, saves energy, and improves runnability, this upgrade is setting new standards in paper production.

This technology upgrade supports Holmen Paper’s transition to TMP furnish-based containerboard, revolutionizing production.
