Big order from the paper industry

Palm Paper, an enterprise of the Palm Group, has commissioned VEGA to supply the level, switching and pressure instrumentation for the project PM 7 in King’s Lynn, England.

The order for the new paper machine for newsprint paper was already awarded to the company Voith Paper in mid 2007. With a working breadth of 10.6 m and a maximum annual quantity of 400,000 tons, it will be the largest paper machine for newsprint paper in Europe. Start-up is planned for the 3rd quarter of 2009.
The order includes, among other things, VEGABAR pressure transmitters with CERTEC ceramic measuring cell, VEGAPULS radar sensors with various antenna types as well as VEGASWING vibrating level switches. The instruments will be used in all areas of the new plant – from stock processing to paper machine. All continuously measuring instruments are executed in Profibus PA technology.

After the projects Eltmann and Wörth, this additional large order for a new plant of the Palm Group is for VEGA a demonstration of the trust placed in its instrument technology and the longstanding, partner-like cooperation.
