Introduction:

Toscotec has secured a new turnkey project with GrandBay Group to supply a PM2 tissue production line for the Blue Tissue paper mill in Apizaco, Mexico. The project includes an AHEAD 2.2 tissue machine, with start-up scheduled for the first half of 2027.

Features:

The new AHEAD 2.2 machine will feature a sheet width of 2,750 mm and an annual production capacity of up to 30,000 tons. Designed to optimize water, fiber, and energy consumption, the line combines operational efficiency with environmental sustainability. It will support high-speed production of premium toilet tissue and kitchen towels, contributing to GrandBay Group’s expansion strategy across Latin America.

The turnkey project includes a complete stock preparation system designed to ensure premium tissue quality. The machine will be equipped with Toscotec’s TT NextPress shoe press technology, TT SYD Steel Yankee Dryer, and high-efficiency TT Hoods. This configuration enhances dewatering performance, increases post-press dryness, and maintains paper bulk. The scope of supply also includes the upgraded TT Brain Distributed Control System (DCS), a complete electrification system, and installation and service packages.

This third collaboration between Toscotec and GrandBay Group in five years further strengthens their partnership and reinforces Toscotec’s position as a key technology provider for high-performance tissue production in Latin America. The new installation is expected to enhance production speed, operational efficiency, and sustainability, supporting Blue Tissue’s continued growth in the regional market.
