WMU Pilot Plant Adds New Machine with Multi Ply Capability, Paper360º July/August 2019



Building on a long history of industry partnerships, as well as dedication to hands-on learning and research, Western Michigan University has officially opened its new, state-of-the-art Paper Machine and Fiber Recycling Plant. The newly-designed PM includes an extended base-ply fourdrinier and a complete top-ply fourdrinier, making it the only pilot scale, multi-ply dual fourdrinier in North America. The Fiber Recycling Plant has been upgraded as well and includes a mid/high consistency pulper, pilot scale Hollander beater, double disk refiners, screens, cleaners, and deinking/bleaching equipment. Combine these assets with the meter-wide, high-speed coater (installed in 2003) and it is easy to see that WMU is well-positioned to serve the paper industry and its Paper Engineering program for years to come. 

TAPPI conference proceedings and presentations, technical papers, and publication articles provide technical and management data and solutions on topics covering the Pulp, Paper, Tissue, Corrugated Packaging, Flexible Packaging, Nanotechnology and Converting Industries.
