Israel’s Shaniv Paper Industries has boosted its production capacity after investing in the rebuild of its TM1.

Supplied by A.Celli Paper, the rebuild was successfully completed with start-up of the machine in early October.

The operation included the supply of a new reel, an innovative DCS system, a more efficient set of motors, renewed roller equipment and the relative drives.

The Yankee Dryer was also insulated by shielding the heads with a layer of coating.

The project allowed the machine to reach the speed of 1,500mpm for the production of high quality tissue paper.

Shaniv Paper Industries is Israel’s second largest producer in the household paper products industry.

It was established in the early 90’s in the city of Ofakim.
