China’s Ganzhou Hwagain Paper has successfully started up TM2.
Supplied by Andritz, the scope of supply for TM 2 comprised the stock preparation plant for softwood, hardwood and bamboo pulp, the two-layer headbox with dilution control system, a shoe press, the wet dust removal system, a reel system, and the machine automation control system.
Andritz said the shoe presses supplied for both tissue machines provide a higher after-press dryness, which reduces thermal drying requirements and lowers energy costs for the customer.
It added that the raw fibre consumption is also reduced, thus enabling the customer to obtain the same quality level in the final product by at the same time using lower-cost fibres.
