Hengan International, Chinese producer of hygiene and sanitary paper products, has successfully started up the second of two Toscotec (Italy)-supplied tissue machines installed at its Changji mill in China.

 

Hengan and Toscotec sealed their partnership at the end of a project that started one year ago with the order of two tissue machines, TM 25 (started up in November 2017) and TM 26, producing a total increase of 50,000 metric tpy to Hengan’s production.

 

 

 

Both tissue machines have a production speed of 1,600 m/min. and a width of 2.8 m. They are equipped with single layer headbox, one large diameter TT SuctionPressRoll, second generation TT SYD with improved rib design, TT Milltech natural gas high efficiency hood and steam and condensate removal system. The scope of supply also includes DCS/MCS, as well as erection supervision, startup assistance, and training programs.

 

The Hengan project team said that "we are excited to start this new project. Toscotec-supplied tissue machines have all the technology we need to produce high quality tissue and to reduce the operating cost of our mill. We want to thank all those who contributed to the success of this partnership project."

 

Marco Dalle Piagge, Toscotec sales director, noted that "now the two machines are running at their target operating speed and they are already producing marketable tissue. In spite of the environmental hardship of Xinjiang Autonomous Region in which the mill is located, everything goes fine and thanks to the good cooperation between our service team and the mill’s personnel, we achieved both startups in a very short time. It’s another success to add to our professional experience."
