Following start-up of the TM 1 PrimeLine tissue machine, Andritz, Graz, Austria, has also successfully completed startup of the second tissue machine it supplied to Ganzhou Hwagain Paper, China. The Andritz scope of supply for TM 2 consisted of the stock preparation plant for softwood, hardwood, and bamboo pulp, a two-layer headbox with dilution control system, a shoe press, the wet dust removal system, a reel system, and the machine automation system.
The shoe presses supplied for both of Ganzhou Hwagain Paper’s tissue machines provide a higher after-press dryness that reduces drying requirements and lowers energy costs or allows the mill to increase production levels at the same thermal energy consumption. The raw fiber consumption is also reduced, thus enabling the customer to achieve the same product quality using lower-cost fibers.
