Toscotec will supply a new tissue line PM7 for the Grigeo Group’s facility in Grigiškės (Vilnius, Lithuania).
This new tissue line, with a daily production capacity of up to 250 tons, highlights the Grigeo Group’s strategic investment to double paper production while also reducing energy costs. It is designed with Toscotec’s cutting-edge technology to significantly reduce environmental impact: specifically decreasing the use of gas and fresh water at the production site.
The AHEAD 2.2L tissue machine will have a paper web width of 5500 mm and a design speed of up to 2200 meters per minute, setting a benchmark for sustainable tissue manufacturing. The machine is designed to include TT Headbox with dilution control system for superior sheet formation, TT Next Press to enhance the drying process, and the most innovative 18-foot Steel Yankee Dryer TT SYD, which is a cornerstone of efficiency and high-performance.
The machine features Toscotec’s state-of-the-art products from Energy Pack. It includes TT Turbo Dryer, developed to increase post-press dryness by using the available energy in hood exhaust, and the gas-powered TT Hood-Duo system with TT Swing technology, designed to optimize the drying process based on different production grades. It is also configured for future installation of electric heating batteries, allowing for the combined use of natural gas and electricity in the drying process.
Founded in 1823, Grigeo Group is the only paper and wood industry company in Lithuania and one of the largest in the Baltic countries. Grigeo Tissue produces 70,000 t/y of tissue products, which are also exported to 19 countries.
