Andritz to Supply TAD Tissue Machine to First Quality Tissue

International technology Group Andritz has received an order from First Quality Tissue to supply a PrimeLineTAD tissue machine with complete stock preparation for its mill in Lock Haven, PA. Startup is scheduled for 2019.

 

The TAD (through-air-drying) tissue machine has a capacity of approximately 70,000 tons/yr. The improved softness, absorbency, and bulk generated by the TAD technology give these products superiority over products made using conventional processes. Andritz has supplied two TAD machines previously to First Quality Tissue’s Lock Haven mill. 

First Quality Tissue, which markets its products under the brand name Plenty™, is one of the leading private label producers of TAD premium quality tissue and towel products. It now operates five tissue machines in the US (two at Lock Haven and three at Anderson, SC).
