The recent order by Shawano Specialty Papers further strengthens the position of Toscotec in the USA as the leading supplier of Steel Yankee dryers.
March 31, 2022
USA-based Shawano Specialty Papers, a subdivision of Little Rapids Corporation, has ordered a TT SYD Steel Yankee Dryer from Toscotec. The manufacturer of a range of paper products has made the order for the dryer for the paper mill in Shawano, Wisconsin, USA. The dryer will be installed on PM3 and the installation is scheduled to take place in the third quarter of 2022.
The new TT SYD will be put in place of the existing cast-iron dryer at the Shawano paper mill. Toscotec’s new-generation steel yankee dryer will bring a number of advantages to the mill including significant production increase, and thermal energy savings. It will also lessen the operating costs of the tissue machine and assure higher safety than the conventional steel dryers.
