Klabin Received Million-Dollar Investments for Expansion and Electrification of Its Factory in Paraná, and To That End, It Counted on the Help of Its Partner WEG to Place More Than 910 Thousand Tons of Paper Per Year on the Market

Klabin, one of the largest producers and exporters of paper for packaging and paper packaging in the country, has begun a new cycle of investments with its Project Puma II, which will be installed in Paraná and will bring around 910 thousand tons of paper to the market each year. For this major expansion, it sought suppliers with experience in the paper and pulp sector, with reliable and highly efficient solutions, and this is where WEG comes in.

WEG, a long-time partner of Klabin, was selected to be part of the investment and provide a significant portion of the electrical package for the two phases of the project, including a medium-voltage cubicle, a low-voltage motor control center, an electrocenter, medium and low-voltage frequency inverters, low and medium-voltage motors, armored busbars, medium-voltage transformers, and transformers for turbogenerator 3.

In total, about 3,500 items were produced by WEG according to the technical requirements demanded by the Klabin, ensuring great performance, increased productivity, and energy efficiency.

To replace the brick electrical room, a modular electrical room and an electrocenter were used, installed at the Effluent Treatment Station (ETE), which, in addition to the advantage and optimization of installation time, can also be fully tested and pre-commissioned at the factory before energization.

Additionally, 39 dry transformers were installed in the electrical rooms distributed throughout the factory in Paraná, which are responsible for powering the process lines. Furthermore, Klabin also purchased a step-up transformer to expand the power supply network.

WEG also provided low and medium-voltage frequency inverters and medium voltage switching and control sets, generating greater versatility and flexibility for the application, as well as armored busbars for the distribution of electrical energy in the low-voltage motor control centers.

Over the past five years, since the supply of the electrical package for the Puma Unit in Paraná, WEG’s solutions, alongside 24-hour technical support, have generated greater operational safety, continuous productivity, and efficiency in Klabin’s investment in Ortigueira, Paraná.

About Project Puma II

Project Puma II is a continuation of the Puma Unit, located in Ortigueira. The first paper machine, called MP27, began operating in August of last year and has a capacity to produce 450 thousand tons of Eukaliner per year.

This is the world’s first kraftliner paper made entirely from eucalyptus fibers. The MP28 is already under construction and is expected to start its activities next year, focusing on the production of paperboard.

The new machine will have a production capacity of 460 thousand tons per year and will transform Klabin into a global producer of cartons for liquid foods and industrialized products, multipack packaging cardboard, and also for the Food Service segment, which has been expanding in recent years, continuing the company’s ongoing plans for innovation, expansion, and growth.

About Project Puma II

Scientists enter a narrow, flooded cave 500 meters deep and find giant dinosaur footprints on the ceiling measuring up to 1.25 meters, preserved in such a rare way that a new type of trace had to be created.

A giant half-ton ring fell in Kenya from space, and more than a year later, scientists still do not know where it came from.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

Map reveals how the Earth may look in 250 million years: continents will reunite in the Last Pangaea, 92% of the planet could become uninhabitable for mammals, and Spain appears among the rare possible exceptions.

About 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland, with houses forming a continuous row and narrow agricultural strips emerging behind them, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

With 1,000 buses sent abroad, the Brazilian manufacturer consolidates the strength of national technology and takes on a leading role in public transportation across all of Latin America.

Scientists discover a giant mass of hot rock 200 km beneath the Appalachians and raise a new explanation for a geological mystery: why 480-million-year-old mountains are still standing.

Water in São Paulo is running out, and the measure was to seek resources 60 km away with a project costing R$ 300 million that uses a tunnel in the mountains, 9 km of pipelines, and pumps up to 2,500 l/s to reinforce the system by 17%.

Xiaomi launches the smartest air conditioner in the world: cools in 15 seconds, heats in 30, airflow of 900 m³/h, self-cleaning at 58°C, savings of 344 kWh/year, and integrated AI for just R$ 2,016.

A doctor cracked the knuckles of one hand for 60 consecutive years and never cracked the other to prove that cracking knuckles does not cause arthritis, and in the end, there was no difference between the two hands, and he won a scientific award for it.

Octoauto: the 8-wheeled car created in 1911 to eliminate discomfort on rough roads cost $3,200, accommodated 4 people, and became one of the strangest and boldest inventions in automotive history.
