Zhangzhou, Fujian-based mill Liansheng Paper Industry Co. Ltd, has ordered two CrescentFormer tissue machines of type PrimeLineTM W 2000 with a design speed of 2,000 m/min and a working width of 5.65 m from ANDRITZ. The machines are equipped with a large suction press and a PrimeDry Steel Yankee with a diameter of 20 ft.
The PrimeDry Hood ST – steam-heated Yankee hood – is engineered with a steam-heated air system. It operates in a temperature range of around 200°C, which can provide an additional 15-25% drying capacity compared to the Yankee alone.

The stock preparation systems, using NBKP (Needle Bleached Kraft Pulp) and LBKP (Leaf Bleached Kraft Pulp) as raw material, will feature highly efficient ANDRITZ equipment such as FibreSolve FSV pulpers.
