New sack kraft paper machine for the Mondi Štetí mill

As part of a major strategic project, Bellmer GmbH and Mondi Štětí have successfully planned, installed, and commissioned a state-of-the-art paper machine for the production of sack kraft paper. The presentation highlights the technical implementation, the challenges, and the partnership between the two companies.

The new paper machine, part of a €400 million investment program, is a central component of Mondi's Action Plan 2030 sustainability strategy. With an annual capacity of 210,000 tons of sack kraft paper, it meets the growing demand for flexible, paper-based packaging solutions.

» Energy-efficient constant section

» Automated winding technology and reel slitter

» DCS (Distributed Control System) and QCS (Quality Control System) for end-to-end automation

The presentation shows how precise system integration, innovative technology, and close cooperation enabled on-schedule commissioning within just 24 months – a technological milestone and the largest single order in Bellmer's history.

The speakers will provide insights into:

» The technical features of the Bellmer TurboLine

» Project coordination and interdisciplinary teamwork
