FHH brings new tissue machine online in Abu Dhabi, UAE

Fine Hygienic Holding (FHH) has started up a new tissue machine, PM 5, at its Al Nakheel mill in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The line, from the stock preparation to the rewinder, was supplied by Valmet and installed by Demont. The 5.6-m wide PM 5 has a capacity of 60,000 tonnes/yr and a design speed of 2,200 m/min.

Around half of the unit’s output will be converted at Al Nakheel and the rest at other FHH sites in UAE and Saudi Arabia. The tissue will be converted into all grades, predominantly facial tissue followed by towels and toilet paper.
