This new tissue machine produces high-quality tissue grades from either 100% virgin or 100% deinked pulp (DIP) at a capacity of 72 admt/d. It has a design speed of 1,800 m/min and a width of 2.85 m. ANDRITZ stock preparation equipment ensures a consistent supply of high-quality pulp to the tissue machine, while keeping energy consumption to minimum. ANDRITZ also supplied automation systems as well as process pumps, fan pumps and multistage pumps.

Key features that make the new tissue machine highly efficient include:

• One-layer headbox for high-quality formation and superior cross direction (CD) profiles
• Suction press roll with a Polysoft PU cover in combination with StrataPress T press felt technology for high-performance dewatering
• PrimeDry Steel Yankee (16 ft. diameter) for high efficiency drying
• The PrimeDry Hood COMBO combined with the Steel Yankee provides significant energy savings. The unique hood design, with a pressurized steam-heated wet chamber and a special dry chamber, provides the flexibility to implement other drying methods in the future at a lower investment.
