Lucart starts up Toscotec - rebuilt tissue machine at Lucart Laval sur Vologne mill in France

After a comprehensive rebuild supplied by Toscotec the rebuilt PM10 at Lucart Laval sur Vologne mill in France has been successfully started up. The rebuild will boost the machine speed from the current 1300 mpm to 1600 mpm for the production of high-quality tissue from virgin or recycled fibers, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

Toscotec's turn-key supply included wire and felt section modifications, a new TT SYD-12FT, Yankee steam & condensate, and a TT MachineBrokePulper-MBP75. Complete engineering, erection, commissioning and start-up assistance were also included in the order.
The new TT SYD has replaced the existing cast iron one. The greater evaporation rate increases the production capacity and the Yankee deckle insulations allows an additional saving on steam consumption.

“This investment is a strategic step to strengthen our presence in Central Europe and is part of our integrated strategy of reducing energy consumption in our paper making process,” said Massimo Pasquini, Lucart Group CEO.

Lucart Group is Europe’s largest producer of thin MG paper for flexible packaging and is one of the top European manufacturers of paper, airlaid and tissue products.

Toscotec is a turnkey projects supplier to the global paper industry.
