CHM-1700 Paper Sheeter Installed in Portugal Europe, Elevating Europe’s Paper Conversion Capabilities

A leading industrial paper processing firm in Portugal has recently commissioned the CHM-1700 Paper Sheeter. This installation marks a strategic upgrade for the Portuguese facility lightweight paper products, and underscores the CHM-1700's growing influence in Europe's high-performance paper sheeting market.​

 

 

Designed for cutting lightweight paper efficiently, the CHM-1700 Paper Sheeter addresses the facility's key pain points: Faced with the pressure of capacity upgrade, the efficiency of existing equipment is unable to meet the demand of order growth. Lightweight paper has low slitting efficiency, is prone to wrinkling, and has high static electricity.

 

 

The machine's advanced paper sheeting technology includes servo and PLC control, which ensures consistent cutting quality across diverse paper grades-from lightweight paper to heavy-duty 550gsm cardboard. This versatility is critical for the Portuguese firm, which serves clients across retail, hospitality, and manufacturing sectors with custom-sized paper products.​

 

 

"Before adopting the CHM-1700, we struggled to balance speed and accuracy with our old sheeting equipment," said the Operations Director at the Portuguese facility. "The CHM-1700's high-speed operation has cut our production lead times by 25%, while its customizable cutting dimensions let us meet even the most specific client requests. It's a game-changer for our workflow."​

 

 

The installation process was led by the CHM Machinery's technical engineer, who provided end-to-end support: from pre-installation site assessments to on-site operator training for the CHM-1700.

 

 

Europe's paper conversion, printing, and packaging industry demands solutions that combine reliability, efficiency, and sustainability-and the CHM-1700 checks all three boxes. This installation is just the start; we're seeing strong interest in the CHM-1700 from facilities in Spain, Italy, and France, as more businesses look to upgrade their sheeting capabilities.

 

 

With the CHM-1700 now fully operational, the Portuguese facility expects to boost annual paper processing capacity by 30% and expand its client base across Europe. The machine's low maintenance design-and easy-access components-will also reduce long-term operational costs, further enhancing the facility's competitive edge.​

 

 

As Europe's paper industry continues to evolve, the CHM-1700 Paper Sheeter stands out as a benchmark for modern paper sheeting technology-proving that performance, sustainability, and flexibility can work hand-in-hand to drive industrial growth.
