Jun 02, 2014. /Lesprom Network/. Following start-up of the TM1 PrimeLine tissue machine, international technology Group Andritz has also completed start-up of the second tissue machine supplied to Ganzhou Hwagain Paper, China, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

The scope of supply for TM 2 comprised the stock preparation plant for softwood, hardwood, and bamboo pulp, the 2-layer headbox with dilution control system, a shoe press, the wet dust removal system, a reel system, and the machine automation control system.

The shoe presses supplied for both tissue machines provide a higher after-press dryness, which reduces thermal drying requirements and lowers energy costs for the customer or can increase production levels at the same thermal energy consumption. The raw fiber consumption is also reduced, thus enabling the customer to obtain the same quality level in the final product by at the same time using lower-cost fibers.

Andritz Pulp& Paper is a leading global supplier of equipment, systems, and services for the production and processing of all types of pulps, paper, tissue, and cardboard.
