French tissue manufacturer Papeteries du Cotentin (PAPECO) has purchased a Toscotec-supplied TT SYD Steel Yankee Dryer and a complete high-performance steam and condensate plant for its Orval sur Sienne mill in Normandy.
The project will replace the company’s existing cast iron dryer and steam system on PM3.
It includes modifications to the machine for the new steam system and it is planned for start-up in the third quarter of 2024.
According to the supplier, compared with the existing cast iron Yankee the TT SYD will “significantly increase PM3’s production capacity, which will guarantee higher operational safety and delivering energy savings.”
Emmanuel Coulon, General Manager of PAPECO, said: “The installation of this TT SYD is aimed at increasing the energy efficiency of our production, in line with our strong commitment to resource efficiency of which the use of locally sourced recycled fibres is also a big part.”
Founded in 1990, PAPECO produces industrial wiping rolls, medical sheets, and toilet tissue.
