Switzerland’s Cartaseta is to boost its production capacity after investing in an Andritz-supplied combustion system upgrade for a tissue machine at its mill in Gretzenbach.
Start-up is scheduled for the third quarter of 2025 and the upgrade includes new hood burners, gas valve trains, and a new burner management system for electronic control of the air/gas ratio, optimizing the combustion process across the entire burner output range of the PM5 tissue machine.
Roger Koch, Managing Director of Cartaseta, said: “This advanced combustion system not only improves our tissue machine’s efficiency and reduces emissions but also leads to significant cost savings over time.
“Overall, this upgrade strengthens our competitiveness, ensuring a more sustainable and profitable future for our business.”
With the implementation of this state-of-the-art combustion system, Cartaseta aims to significantly enhance burner performance under all operating conditions.
This will improve the energy efficiency of the entire tissue machine, reduce CO2 emissions in compliance with regulations, and maximize the safety and reliability of the equipment.
