Toscotec’s Steel Yankee Dryer TT SYD Starts up at CMPC in Argentina.

Papelera del Plata, part of CMPC Tissue Latam group, fired up a TT SYD-12FT supplied by Toscotec. The new TT SYD is installed on PM 3 at Papelera del Plata - Zarate mill in Argentina. This is a repeat order for Toscotec, which in 2010 fired up another TT SYD at CMPC Tissue’s Industria Papelera Uruguaya in Uruguay. These TT SYD replaced two existing steel Yankee dryers supplied by another manufacturer.

The new TT SYD-12FT features a diameter of 3.66 m and a face width of 2.8 m. The scope of supply includes Toscotec’s patented deckle insulation system, which allows for safe and practical application of the deckle insulation on the Yankee’s heads without any machining, the drive group, support and bearings, and the main components of the steam and condensate system. The service package included the engineering design, installation supervision, commissioning and start-up assistance, as well as onsite training program.

Simone Pieruccini, Toscotec’s pressure vessel technical manager, says “In order to meet the stringent delivery requirements of the customer, we manufactured and delivered the TT SYD in record time. From the project kick-off meeting to the notice of goods ready for shipment, it took us only 3 and a half months. Thanks to the good cooperation with Papelera del Plata, installation, commissioning and start-up were very successful and the TT SYD started performing well from day one.”
