ANDRITZ successfully started up a PrimeLine tissue machine – the new PM 7 – for Hengan Holding Co., Ltd., a leading manufacturer of high-quality tissue products in China. With this start-up, ANDRITZ now has nine tissue machines in operation in China.
Like two earlier machines supplied to Hengan by ANDRITZ PULP & PAPER (PM 3 and PM 5), the new PM 7 is a 5.55 m wide tissue machine for high quality and very soft tissue paper. It has an annual production capacity of 60,000 tons at a design speed of 2,000 m/min. A two-layer headbox with dilution profiling system (PrimeProFiler F) ensures the paper quality required by Hengan. The ANDRITZ scope of supply also included the virgin fiber stock preparation and fiber recovery.
