Technology
The technology required, responsible for a major improvement of the production plant, comes from Pörner, too. The production plant (the core of plate production) was upgraded and the process of the entire wax tempering system re-designed. The machinery was improved by Pörner as part of an R&D project and is now manufactured based on the improved design.
At this plant liquid wax is carried in moulding presses where hot wax of over 90°C is solidified in a batch process. The world-wide demand for wax plates has been on the rise. Therefore two more production lines are to be added to the plant. The capacity will thus grow by 30%. The investment volume will come up to several million euros. The project is to become operational in summer 2014.
Foundation
Once before back in 2000 Pörner was commissioned with the process design of the entire plant and supplied the key equipment and the entire plant control system. The trust in the company‘s performance capability gained at that time could be cemented in the years to follow and has now resulted in the said follow-up contract.
Based on the almost 40 years’ experience in lube oil and bitumen production (Biturox® technology), for example, the Pörner Group has extensive process know-how in waxes and wax formulation that in particular goes into spray micronization and wax slabbings.
