The long-standing partnership between Toscotec and the Chinese giant Vinda Group has produced a new order for three tissue machines, scheduled for start-up in the second half of 2016.
Two Ahead 2.0M will be installed at its Sanjiang facility in Guangdong province, where Vinda already has eight Toscotec-supplied tissue machines running, to attain a total mill capacity of 250,000 t/y. This also represents a record-breaking achievement for the Italian manufacturer, who will accomplish start-up of its tenth tissue line on the same production base over the course of just four years. The third machine will be installed in Vinda Shandong, where Toscotec has already supplied three lines in three years. This Ahead 1.5M is identical to the machine fired up last August in Laiwu mill, with design speed of 1700 m/min and a production capacity of 30,000 t/y, same as the Guangdong tissue lines.
Toscotec’s solution TT DOES (Drying Optimization for Energy Saving) delivers the greatest advantages for the mill: highest performances with the lowest operating costs, by skilfully tapping on cost-effective energy sources such as steam and benefiting from Toscotec’s signature technology, its second generation Steel Yankee Dryer.
