Voith has won a new contract to supply a new decor paper machine in India – the Chandrahati PM 4 – for ITC Limited - Paperboards & Specialty Papers Division, which is India’s largest producer of graphic paper, specialty paper and cartonboard.

ITC PSPD can look back on more than 50 years of experience in the manufacture of a wide range of paper grades. Its new paper machine will be located in Tribeni, about 60 kilometers north of Kolkata, and will increase the company’s production capacity for decor paper.

“The Chandrahati PM 4 is a transformational project, where ITC has drawn on Voith’s unique expertise and reliability. World-class decor paper will be produced through the state-of-the-art technology and equipment to be supplied by Voith Paper,” says Sanjay Singh, Divisional Chief Executive at ITC

ITC is planning to use the Chandrahati PM 4 to produce decor papers with basis weights from 50 to 110 g/m2 meeting international quality demands. Production lines for decor paper have to meet special requirements. For example, a high gloss print quality and good opacity, i.e. impermeability to light, must be guaranteed, which is why up to 40 percent filler is used in the production process.

The PM 4 will be equipped with Voith TwinFlo refiners in stock preparation and the Advanced Wet End Process with Voith’s HydroMix, ComMix and latest BlueLine products such as newly innovated IntegraGuard screens. In addition, the system is designed for the frequent use of short fibers and high filler content.

Voith Paper is a Group Division of Voith and is one of the leading partners and pioneers in the paper industry.
