Toscotec has received in total 8 (eight) tissue machine order from Asia Pulp and Paper Group (APP). Two of the tissue machines are scheduled to come on stream in 4Q 2017 and 1Q 2018, respectively. In the meantime, the Italian supplier is manufacturing other 6 tissue machines which are planned for delivery between the 3Q 2017 and the first half of 2018. Each tissue machine is capable of producing, among other tissue grades, 300 tpd, or about 100,000 tpa of high gsm tissue.
The scope of supply of this major order includes AHEAD-2.0L crescent former tissue machines, with a net trim width of 5.6m, 22 FT diameter Steel Yankee Dryer TT SYD-22FT and Steam Heated Yankee Hoods.
This is Toscotec’s most recent innovation, PRODERGY, a new concept developed from the Company’s successful line, the AHEAD-2.0, which significantly boosts production and cuts down on the energy costs. In fact, PRODERGY is the 1st tissue machine to combine top production performance and top product quality, with energy efficiency. Its unique configuration of the drying section has taken tissue technology to a whole new level and has set new records for the industry.
The first record to be broken is the diameter of the Steel Yankee: 22 feet, the largest Steel Yankee Dryer ever built for tissue production. The second record pertains to the speed, and therefore to the production output, as Prodergy is the first tissue machine relying on steam energy only that can achieve a maximum operation speed of 2000 m/min.
Asia Pulp and Paper Group (APP) has an annual combined pulp, paper, packaging product and converting capacity of over 19 million tons per annum.
Toscotec is a turnkey supplier to the global tissue industry.
