Ariete S.r.l., Italy, a producer of high quality tissue paper, has ordered a new MODULO-PLUS machine from Toscotec, Italy, for its paper mill in Cava dei Tirreni (Salerno), Italy. The new tissue machine replaces the exiting one, and startup is scheduled for July 2017.

 

All of the dismantling and assembly operations will be performed and synchronized to minimize the mill’s downtime. The scope of the supply includes a MODULO-PLUS in crescent former configuration, with a single-layer headbox. Approach flow, electrical and control systems, together with dismantling of the existing machine and installation of the new one, supervision, and assistance for startup will all be performed by Toscotec.

 

Ariete has been producing tissue paper since 1965, manufacturing qualitatively high standard products capable of meeting the different and changing demands of the market. The paper mill spans a property of 14,000 sq. meters has a production capacity of 22,000 metric tpy. 

The company offers customers a wide range of semi-finished products for hygienic use and for use in the food industry, with production that varies from 15 to 38 grams per sq. meter, and from one to four plies of pure cellulose. Traditionally oriented towards innovation and quality, in full respect of people and of the environment, Ariete has decided to make this investment pursuant to a new strategy focused on maximizing efficiency.

 

"Toscotec’s offer turned out to be the best on a technological level, and the most suitable to our needs. To be competitive in the market, we must have the proper instruments. We are convinced that the new MODULO-PLUS is the technical solution that we were looking for and that will allow us to increment quantity and quality," said Nicola Salsano, chairman of the Ariete Board of Directors.
