Metsä Tissue is modernising an existing DIP line at its mill in Mänttä, Finland, in order to increase its production output.

The project will be carried out by Andritz and the new DIP line will supply the furnish for all three tissue machines at the site.

It will process medium- to high-quality recycled paper grades to be used as raw material for production of various tissue products.

Andritz will upgrade the pulping process with a new detrashing system – comprising a FibreGuard Detrasher, a FibreWash Drum, and a Detrashing Pump – to increase pulp quality through early removal of non-disintegrated reject materials.

Metsä Tissue is part of the Metsä Group, one of the largest forest industry groups in the world.

The Mänttä mill produces toilet tissue, household towels, paper tissues, industrial tissue rolls, and greaseproof paper for baking and cooking.
