Lee & Man employs the most effective technology and the new tissue line will fulfill their high demands on sustainability. Valmet's Advantage DCT concept is well established on the market and has proven to bring high flexibility, energy- and fiber efficient production as well as tissue products with high bulk and softness.
"We are excited to work with Lee & Man in this project, supporting their environmental targets. Our Advantage Visco Nip press is specially designed for very high linear loads which combined with a cast alloy Yankee cylinder makes it possible to increase the paper dryness after press and reach significant drying energy savings," says Svenerik Olsson, Director, Tissue Mills Business Unit, Valmet China.
The new tissue machine will have a width of 5.6 m and a design speed of 2,000 m/min. It will produce 60,000 tons of toilet and facial tissue per year, using virgin wood pulp and bleached bamboo fiber as raw material.
Valmet's scope of delivery will comprise a complete tissue production line featuring stock preparation systems and an Advantage DCT 200HS tissue machine. The machine will be equipped with an OptiFlo headbox and a cast alloy Yankee cylinder.
The delivery will also include an automation package from Metso with Metso DCS and QCS process control system.
