PMP (Paper Machinery Producer) has been 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 its partnership was the delivery 25 Intelli-Jet V Hydraulic Headboxes for both, tissue and paper machines.

In May, APP decided to award PMP with another project. This time the scope of supply covers 18 complete tissue machines for 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 good match for APP, thanks to premium tissue quality provided from the first 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 machines will be designed and manufactured with the same concept to produce tissue from 11.5 up to 22 gsm at the reel. The machines are designed for a maximum speed of 1,600 m/min.

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

• Intelli-Jet V: Five-channel, single layer, hydraulic headbox. Implementation of Intelli-Jet V® headbox secures hydraulic stability, sheet edge quality, perfect basis weight profile as well as low electric power consumption of the fan pump.
• Intelli-Former: Crescent former type, a compact design with the optimum catch of the jet beam from the headbox and efficient dewatering.
• Intelli-Press: Single press design with a cantilevered framework. Intelli-Press® is equipped with Intelli-SPR (suction pressure roll) with a diameter of 1421 mm with PU cover and high nip load up to 115 kN/m. This design maximizes the amount of water removed from the sheet while maintaining high product quality, lowering media consumption and boosting machine capacity.
  Intelli-YD: Steel Yankee dryer with an 18-ft diameter (5,480 mm) manufactured with the highest quality, certified materials, with optimized shell structure, which brings high drying efficiency with ultra-low media consumption.
• Intelli – Cap: Exhaust cap over the Yankee dryer assures efficient moisture removal while providing a significant decrease in media consumption compared with conventional solutions at the same time.
  Intelli-Reel: Reel providing efficient, high speed, continuous paper winding and perfect parent roll structure.
   

Also, PMP will provide 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

The new machines will strengthen APP’s position in the Chinese tissue market adding capacity of premium products with a low environmental footprint.

Asia Pulp and Paper Group (APP) is one of the largest pulp & paper companies in the world. Founded in 1972 with Tjiwi Kimia producing caustic soda, it now runs operations across Indonesia and China with an annual combined pulp, paper, packaging product and converting capacity of over 19 mtpy.
