15 October 2016

International technology Group ANDRITZ has received an order from Carta Fabril to supply a PrimeLineST W22 tissue machine with steel Yankee and steam-heated hood for its mill in Anápolis, Brazil. Start-up is scheduled for January 2019.

The PrimeDry Steel Yankee delivered by ANDRITZ has a diameter of 22 ft. and thus is the largest for tissue worldwide. The combination with the steam-heated hood enables efficient drying with substantial energy savings and safe operation. The steam-heated hood is equipped with an innovative automatic cleaning system and a dust removal system. The order also includes the complete stock preparation plant, which processes 100% short fiber (Eucalyptus).  

The ANDRITZ tissue machine has a design speed of 2,100 m/min and a width of 5.55 m. It will use 100% renewable energy generated from biomass and converted into steam.

The order for the world’s first tissue machine with a 22 ft. steel Yankee confirms ANDRITZ PULP & PAPER’s strong position as one of the global market leaders for supply of complete tissue production lines, key components, and services, and as the right partner for innovative solutions and unique records.

Carta Fabril ranks among the key players in the Brazilian tissue business, covering the complete product range of tissue papers. The company targets “green production” by minimizing liquid and solid waste, effluents, and CO2 emissions.
