International technology group Andritz has received an order from global hygiene and health company Essity to deliver a PrimeDry YES (Yankee Eco Steam System) for a tissue machine at its mill in Stubbins, England. Start-up is scheduled for the Q4 2024.
The PrimeDry YES generates high-pressure steam, providing up to 25% of the steam required for the Yankee by utilizing exhaust air from the Yankee hood. This significantly reduces the boiler’s gas consumption, overall energy costs, and CO2 emissions. The standalone system is integrated into the machine’s DCS and can operate completely independently of the machine’s production, allowing for easy operational control. Being classified as a heat exchanger rather than a boiler, the PrimeDry YES does not require special inspections, maintenance by certified personnel, or system certifications at the customer’s expense.
Essity is a Swedish based leading global hygiene and health company with five manufacturing sites throughout the UK.
Andritz Pulp & Paper provides sustainable technology, automation, and service solutions for the production of all types of pulp, paper, board and tissue.
