Sep 26, 2013. /Lesprom Network/. Voith Paper has won the order to supply a complete tissue processing line to Celulosa Argentina in Argentina. The system, to be supplied as a Process Line Package (PLP), will go on stream in Capitán Bermúdez in early 2015, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

The new VTM 1 production line, which has a wire width of 2,760 mm and runs at 1,800 m/min, will produce around 30,000 metric tons of 15–21 g/m² basis weight toilet tissue and kitchen roll from virgin fiber.

The scope of supply includes a VTM 1 tissue machine consisting of MasterJet T 1-layer headbox, Voith steel cylinder with high performance hood, the innovative shoe press technology NipcoFlex T and a MasterReel. Voith’s OnQ quality control system equipped with non-radioactive sensors for the measurement of moisture content and fiber weight, the OnC process control system as well as the entire stock preparation, engineering and additional services complete the PLP package.

Based on Voith’s high process know-how and the optimal interaction of the single components, the new line offers measurable benefits in operating costs and energy efficiency and heads its class for sustainability.

In its three mills in the towns of Capitán Bermúdez (Santa Fe province) and Zárate (Buenos Aires province) in Argentina and in Juan Lacaze in Uruguay, Celulosa Argentina can produce up to 210,000 metric tons of pulp and 194,000 metric tons of paper annually.

Voith Paper is a division of the Voith Group and the leading partner to and pioneer in the paper industry.
