Sweden’s Rexcell Tissue & Airlaid has started up its PM1 after a complete rebuild of the drying section supplied by Toscotec at its Skåpafors mill in Sweden.
The machinery supplier said Rexcell achieved its targets of substantially by bringing down PM1’s thermal energy consumption through the use of energy-efficient drying technology and increase the machine’s production capacity.
Toscotec’s scope of supply delivered considerable gas consumption reductions and a significant increase in machine run-ability.
The rebuild has included a press section upgrade, the installation of a TT SYD Steel Yankee Dryer with new steam and condensate system, and high efficiency TT Hoods where the air system burners are specifically designed and tested for different fuels (LPG and biomethane).
Lars Andersson, Chief Executive at Duni Rexcell, said: “The project was successful in reducing our carbon footprint.
“This is an important part of our medium-term efforts toward our 2030 Net Zero target.”
Rexcell is a wholly owned subsidiary of Duni Group, and – after starting production in 1898 – now operates one of the most advanced paper mills in Europe for the production of specialised tissue.
