HERGEN Advances to Second Phase of MP1 Modernization Project at Iberkraft

Following the success of phase one, HERGEN continues the modernization of Iberkraft’s MP1 paper machine in Quedas do Iguaçu, Paraná, Brazil, focusing on enhancing paper quality, efficiency, and sustainability. The second phase centers on installing a new Size Press, improving the paper's surface strength, finishing options, and printability, leading to a more attractive and resilient product. Complementing this, HERGEN will supply a post-drying system featuring Smart Steel Dryers, designed for optimal thermal transfer and energy efficiency with high operational safety. Preparations for the third phase, which includes upgrading the pre-drying section and installing new winding equipment, are underway. This multi-phase modernization aligns with Iberkraft’s long-term vision to remain competitive and sustainable in the evolving paper industry, supported by HERGEN’s ECOPerformance program that enhances fiber composition adaptability and overall production stability.
