PMP Group has announced the sale of the 101st PMP Intelli-Jet V® hydraulic headbox since 2000.

The headbox can now be found in 15 countries and across three continents, North America, Asia and Europe.

If all headboxes designed and sold by PMP’s predecessors since 1854 are taken into account, that number increases to a total of 758 headboxes.

The machines can reach up to maximum design speeds of 1,500mpm, while the machines used in the tissue sector have a trim of up to 5.6m with speeds of 2,100mpm.

PMP Group’s hydraulic headbox references are almost equally divided between paper (51 units) and tissue (50 units).

PMP Intelli-Jet V® hydraulic headbox is one of the PMP Group’s most advanced products and is the key element in the Intelli-Technology® and Intelli-Tissue® platform.
