International technology Group Andritz has successfully started up the PrimeLineCOMPACT VI tissue production line – including stock preparation and automation system – delivered to Bashundhara Paper Mills Limited in Bangladesh, India, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
The Andritz tissue machine – with a design speed of 2,100 m/min and a paper width of 2.85 m – produces tissue for high-quality facial wipes, toilet paper, and napkins. The 16 ft. PrimeDry Steel Yankee is made entirely of steel, thus enabling high and efficient drying performance, and was manufactured at the Andritz Steel Yankee Business Center in Foshan, China. For Andritz, it is the first high-speed tissue machine to be installed in Bangladesh.
The tissue production line is equipped with the Andritz PrimeControl automation system for a high-performance production process. For the very first time, Andritz has supplied a multi-motor drive (MMD) system with active line modules (ALM). The ALMs are designed for feeding energy back into the grid as a renewable energy solution, they offer low line harmonics that meet the demands of IEEE 519, and they enable stable operation of the motor, even with irregular power supply systems.
All the tissue machine MMDs are powered from a common DC-busbar as are the approach flow and the air ventilation systems at times. The Andritz LV motors are installed from fiber preparation to the tissue machine auxiliary system.
Andritz Pulp & Paper is a leading global supplier of complete plants, systems, equipment, and comprehensive services for the production and processing of all types of pulp, paper, board, and tissue.
