BTG total tissue capability - a holistic approach to tissue making

TG has announced the launch of its 'total tissue capability' package, a new tightly integrated product and service combining hardware, specialist expertise and consumables designed to help tissue makers quickly resolve persistent problems and optimize their process.

As a global market leader in pulp & paper technologies, BTG knows that localized problems can have complex origins. Many issues that surface during creping actually stem from problems earlier in the process which could be relatively easily corrected or even eliminated, for a smoother and more cost-efficient process.

BTG's holistic total capability approach delivers fast and effective results because it takes a global look at each customer's tissue making process. Combining products from the company's Instruments and Duroblade® portfolios allows engineers to quickly identify and remedy issues, many of which can be traced back to the unstable quality of raw material, process upsets in stock preparation and uncontrolled dosages of process and functional additives.

Tons of fibres are wasted daily through inefficient fibre recovery. Common problems include unstable coating and release properties leading to unstable sheet quality, blade life reduction through unstable dewatering in the forming section, and the mounting consumption of costly chemicals to maintain desired tissue properties.

BTG's fast, direct measuring technologies, high-performance doctor blades and blade holders can deliver substantial production improvements and tighter process control - translating into rapid time-to-benefit and ROI for customers.

BTG says its total tissue capability teams will develop strategies to help customers reduce sheet breaks, extend blade life, increase speed, gain softness, avoid felt filling, control ERIC, brightness and redness and optimize chemical efficiency.
