APP Orders 18 New Tissue Machines from PMP for China Mill


PMP (Paper Machinery Producer) is supporting the dynamic development of one of the biggest pulp and paper companies in the world for almost 20 years. One of the significant examples of our partnership was the delivery 25 Intelli-Jet V® Hydraulic Headboxes for both, tissue and paper machines. 

In late May of 2019 APP decided to award PMP with another project. This time scope of supply covers 18 complete Tissue Machines to APP’s new mill in Rudong Jiangsu, China. APP has decided to execute the project together with PMP, due to excellent cooperation in the past and the state-of-the-art technology implemented by PMP worldwide. APP has chosen Intelli-Tissue® EcoEc 1600 Premium, from a wide span of tissue making solutions offered by PMP. It is a perfect match for APP, thanks to premium tissue quality provided from the 1st day, very low media consumption, high capacity of the machine and high efficiency (over 95%). Furthermore, the project has a high return on investment what sealed the agreement between both companies.

All 18 TMs will be designed and manufactured with the same concept to produce tissue from 11,5 up to 22,0 gsm at the reel. Machines are designed for a maximum speed of 1600 m/min. Intelli-Tissue® EcoEc 1600 platform is a perfect balance between achieved capacity and optimum energy savings. 

In the scope of supply of each machine, there are PMP’s core technological items such as:

As an addition, PMP has provided parts of approach flow equipment, mechanical drives, steam & condensate system, lubrication system, hydraulic system, wet dust & mist removal system, machine controls, as well as all necessary training, shop floor assembly and start-up supervision.

New machines will strengthen APP position on Chinese tissue market adding capacity of premium products with low green footprint thanks to ultra-low media consumption provided by PMP’s Intelli-Tissue® EcoEc line.
