TT NextPress shoe press ensures a stable after-press dryness rate of more than 45% on a tissue line operating at a speed of 2,100 m/min, thereby guaranteeing a substantial energy consumption reduction, due to the fact that the Yankee and the hoods use significantly less thermal energy to complete the drying process.
The forming section rebuild included an approach flow system upgrade and the installation of a state-of-the-art TT Headbox designed to match the high quality requirements for facial tissue in the Middle Eastern market.
The new AHEAD 1.8 machine (PM2) has a sheet width of 2,800 mm and a production capacity of over 30,000 tons/year. The start-up is planned for 2026.
The energy needed for PM1’s operation comes entirely from electricity. The mill has the option of getting power from the Portuguese grid or using 100% renewable energy coming from its solar and wind systems.
