119" (3.02M) trim Off
Machine Coater
Used 3.02 meter trim
off machine coater originally built in the 1970s and rebuilt in the 1980’s
and rebuilt again in late 1990s. The coater was originally built by
Walmsleys and rebuilt by Beloit and others. Coater speed is up to 800 m/min.
There is now a BTG twin HSM pre-coater capable of applying 10 – 12 gsm/side
at 60% solids and two Beloit S-Matic blade coaters retrofitted in 2001 with
Metso CD coat weight control and applying 10 – 16 gsm per side, each
followed by gas infra-red, hot air air-cap and six unfelted dryer cylinders.
The coater is primarily running single and double coated woodfree
publication and printing papers in the 75 – 170 gsm range, but also single
side coated woodfree label papers. It has successfully run groundwood-containing
base stock in the past and was originally built to manufacture LWC. There is
a pre-winder used to combine two 1500mm diameter rewound machine reels into
a single 2100mm reel on a machine shell prior to the coater and a flying
splice unwind. The rebuilds in the 1980s replaced the original blade coaters
with Beloit S-Matic Blade coaters. The dryers after each coater station were
also rebuilt in the 1980s and have recently been rebuilt to be fuelled by
natural gas in place of the previous LPG. The late 1990’s rebuild focussed
on the addition of the BTG pre-coater and its associated drying equipment
(Infra-red plus hot air) to allow double coating. At the same time the drive
system was upgrades to ABB Digital. The CD coat weight profile control was
also added in 2001. Wind -up is on spools using a pope reel which follows a
single-nip calender used primarily as a pull stack for threading. The
standard practice in the mill was to rereel and cut clean slit edges between
the paper machine and the off machine coater. Coated reels were sent
directly to the supercalenders unless they had breaks, in which case they
are rewound on a Masson Scott U2A winder. Also available separately are. two
sets of 10-roll supercalenders which are fitted with flexitherm rolls, a
single drum Valmet JR1000 slitter rewinder with four rewind stations and
three Masson Scott folio sheeters. Coating kitchen equipment may also be
available.
135" (3420 mm) Off
Machine Coater – C2S or 2 x C1S with In-Line Soft Nip Calender
This 135-inch
(3420 mm) Off Machine Coater has capability to apply either one coater to
each side of the sheet or double coat one side with a decurler. It has
produced coated two-side wood paper, C1S label paper (single and double
coated) and wall paper. It was originally built by KMW and started up in
1974. A major rebuild was done in 1994 by Black Clawson and Kusters to
include a 3-roll Matte-on-Line soft nip calender and up-to-date drives and
control systems.

150" Off-Machine Coating Line
Used
3.8-meter trim off machine coater originally built in the late 1960s and
rebuilt in 1990 and rebuilt again in late 1990s. The coater was originally
built by Black Clawson and rebuilt by Beloit. Coater speed is up to 1100
m/min. Coat weight range 10 - 20 gsm/side. It primarily ran coated
publication papers in the 60 - 120 gsm range but could run higher basis
weights as required. It has successfully run groundwood-containing base
stock as lightweight as 40 gsm.
The
Black Clawson turret unwind operates from reel spools. Maximum diameter of
reels on the unwind is 2185 mm. The two rebuilds in the 1990s replaced the
original Black Clawson blade coaters with Beloit Combi Blade coaters - which
can be run as either short dwell or applicator roll coaters.
The
dryers after each coater station were also rebuilt in the 1990s. Following
each coating station are Impact gas-fired infrared dryers and high velocity
gas-fired flotation dryers plus 2 drying cylinders. The drying cylinders are
unfelted and used primarily for tension control and web stabilization.
Wind-up is on spools using a pope reel. A new variable
frequency AC sectional drive was installed as part of the 1990s rebuild.
Also included is a 3.8-meter trim Black Clawson re-reeler with slitters and
trim removal system. Rebuild in the 1990s included a new Reliance drive. The
standard practice in the mill was to re-reel and cut clean slit edges
between the paper machine and the off machine coater. Coated reels were sent
directly to the super calenders. If there was a break on the off machine
coater, the coated reels were spliced and cleaned up on the re-reeler before
going to the super calenders.
