What if you no longer had to choose between surface quality and bulk? With EcoCal HiBulk, we introduce a new approach to bulk‑saving calendering in board production. Instead of increasing pressure in the nip, the technology conditions the paper web before calendering: ➡️ cooling the core ➡️ selectively heating and moistening the surface ➡️ achieving smoothness with reduced sheet compression The result: Lower fiber consumption while maintaining surface quality, strength and printability. Validated under production conditions at a European board mill, EcoCal HiBulk marks a next step in balancing quality, efficiency and sustainability. 👉 Read the full press release on https://lnkd.in/eTuDmNy9 #EcoCalHiBulk #Papermaking #BoardProduction #Sustainability #Innovation
