St. Croix Tissue Inc., Baileyville, Me, USA, very close to the Canadian border, is a recently born tissue manufacturing company that can already boast of a long-standing history. Its sister company, Woodland Pulp LLC, has been producing since 1904, and today provides a premium quality raw material (bleached hardwood pulp) with wood chips coming from the surrounding forest areas, a portion of which is designated for St. Croix Tissue.
A.Celli Paper, Italy, has provided the Maine facilities with a complete roll handling system, which was started up in March 2016 and October 2017.
With this system, jumbo reels coming from the tissue machine are automatically transferred to the wrapper, making the production process not only more fluid and faster, but also safer. The new A.Celli Paper handling system is supported by an overhead crane (also automatic) positioned above the tissue machines, that aids in the most critical
phases.
In addition to the roll handling system, the supply also included a new rewinder, model AC882. Started up in June 2016, it obtained optimal results, reaching the speed of 1,800 m/min. with production paper, with no vibration or web break issues, "to the customer’s full satisfaction," A.Celli reported, adding that "supporting this new company has doubtless been a stimulating experience for A.Celli Paper, and the great results obtained today are a prelude to the inception of a long-lasting relationship, fruit of the customer’s trust, repaid by the competence and professionalism of a provider of technological excellence like our Lucca, Italy, company, capable of listening to problems and finding an exhaustive answer."
