South Korea’s Mirae Paper has boosted its production capacity after starting up a Toscotec-supplied TT SYD Steel Yankee Dryer.
Mirae Paper started up the line to replace an existing Cast Iron Yankee on PM2 at its Jeonju mill.
It is the company’s second TT SYD installation following another Yankee replacement by Toscotec on PM3 in 2013.
Yeong Rok Lee, Mirae Paper’s Production Manager, said: “This new Yankee on PM2 has been performing very efficiently for over two months now.”
Toscotec said that its latest generation of TT SYD installed on Mirae Paper’s PM2 “benefits from an ideal ratio of the height, width, and distance between the Yankee’s internal ribs and the optimization of its shell thickness.”
It said: “This design guarantees the highest possible thermal energy transfer efficiency at the drying heart of the tissue machine.”
Established in 2000, Mirae Paper operates one paper mill in Jeonju, South Korea, where it manufactures up to 65,000tpy of high-quality tissue including toilet tissue, handkerchiefs, and towels, using both virgin and recycled fibres.
It distributes its products mainly to the Korean market.
