IBS Group Successfully Commissions Plant for Starch Preparation at Mondi Štĕtí
PGA Anlagenbau, a member of the IBS Paper Performance Group, is celebrating the successful commissioning of a complete starch plant for mass starch preparation at Mondi Štĕtí, Czech Republic. The plant is destined for the state-of-the-art new paper machine, which went into operation in December 2024. An essential component of the plant is the patented starch cooker PGA starchPERFORMER. The new starch plant enables Mondi Štĕtí to produce starch of the highest possible quality with the lowest possible energy consumption, thereby achieving optimised paper quality. Within the Mondi Group, six starchPERFORMER units for mass starch and two for surface starch are already successfully in operation.
From the very first test run, the advantages of the starch plant from PGA Anlagenbau were clear and confirmed. The quality and flexibility of the mass starch prepared by the plant with the PGA starchPERFORMER are impressive. The plant enables us to continuously improve the paper properties and stabilise them at the highest level.
