Description: The Sappi Alfeld Mill near Hannover in Germany has been making paper since the 1700s. Over the last 80 years it has carved out something of a solid reputation in the field of bespoke, specialty papers, which has created a perfect platform for growth in the uncertain world of paper production. Building on this, Sappi recently took on an ambitious project to convert its one remaining graphic paper machine at Alfeld, PM 2, into what is probably the largest, most innovative, automated and versatile specialty paper machine on the planet, with a capacity of 135,000 tonnes/yr. The inauguration of PM 2 was held in March. The concept for the new PM 2 was for a world-class, prototype specialty machine with a width of 4,650 mm that could handle intricate grades from a basis weight of 50-180 g/m2 and run at a production speed of 1,200 m/min.
