Yuen Foong Yu Contracts PMP for Rebuild of Tissue Machine in Taiwan

Yuen Foong Yu, Taiwan, has signed a contract with PMP (Poland) for the rebuild of its TM 7 tissue machine in Ching Shui Mill (Taiwan). The delivery includes a steel Intelli-YD, Intelli-Cap, and Steam & Condensate equipment. PMP has been chosen again as a strategic partner supporting YFY’s development.

 

PMP is a global provider of paper, board, and tissue technology and has been serving the pulp and paper industry for more than 160 years. PMP has built business partnership with Yuen Foong Yu in Asia that lasts several years already. 

 

 

Yuen Foong Yu’s core business is paper manufacturing. The company produces printing, writing, industrial, and home use paper. The company currently owns three major brands of tissue paper—Mayflower, Tender, and Delight. Its lines produce paper products such as toilet paper, tissue paper, facial tissues, paper towels, and napkins. YFY is not only one of leading Asian papermakers, it also ranks among the 50 largest paper manufacturers in the world. 

The PMP scope of supply for the rebuild of TM 7 includes a 12-ft.-dia. steel yankee dryer designed and manufactured by PMP (2,420 mm sheet width on yankee), a high efficiency yankee cap supplied with an air fan – Intelli-Cap – and steam and condensate equipment. The yankee is made with steel welded construction with bolted on journals.

To increase yankee efficiency, PMP offers optimized and tailor-made solutions. The Intelli-YD designed for YFY will be capable of operating at up to 9.5 bar(g) of steam pressure and a maximum design speed of 1,200 m/min. Additionally, PMP will exchange the existing steam yankee hood with yankee cap to reduce steam consumption. Appropriate changes in the steam and condensate system will be implemented to fit the new system conditions.

The delivery is scheduled for June 2016, followed by erection at site and startup in August 2016.
