Productos Familia SCA Brings New Tissue Machine On-Stream in Columbia

Productos Familia SCA, the largest Colombian tissue paper manufacturer, has started up the new Voith Paper TM 7 at its Cajica mill in Columbia, where another Voith Paper machine has been successfully running since 2006. The new TM 7 machine is designed for a speed of 2,000 m/min, with a 3,460 mm paper width at the reel. It increases the mill's production of tissue paper to approximately 40,000 metric tpy.

Voith was responsible for the supply of the tissue machine with basic and detail engineering, dust extraction system, and high-performance hood from Voith Air Systems (designed for reduction of gas consumption). Voith also supplied the approach flow, vacuum system, complete automation—with MCS, DCS, and scanner (QCS), installation supervision, commissioning, and startup.

Productos Familia is a family owned company that is 50% owned by the Sweden-based SCA group. It is a leading supplier of tissue products in Columbia.
