Watch: In Pursuit of Lesser Water Footprint
Mr. Pham Van Dung, Vice Chairman of Xuan Mai Paper, says: “Both ANDRITZ tissue machines have been running smoothly right from the start. The second machine has substantially increased our production capacity, allowing us to meet the growing market demand not only in Vietnam, but also throughout Southeast Asia. The close cooperation during the recent start-up has further strengthened our partnership with ANDRITZ.”
ANDRITZ stock preparation equipment ensures a consistent supply of high-quality pulp to the tissue machine, while keeping energy consumption to minimum. ANDRITZ also supplied automation systems as well as process pumps, fan pumps and multistage pumps.

Key features that make the new tissue machine highly efficient include: One-layer headbox for high-quality formation and superior cross direction (CD) profiles, Suction press roll with a Polysoft PU cover in combination with StrataPress T press felt technology for high-performance dewatering, PrimeDry Steel Yankee (16 ft. diameter) for high efficiency drying, The PrimeDry Hood COMBO combined with the Steel Yankee provides significant energy savings. The unique hood design, with a pressurized steam-heated wet chamber and a special dry chamber, provides the flexibility to implement other drying methods in the future at a lower investment.
As per ANDRITZ, its first tissue machine supplied to Xuan Mai has been in operation since 2020. The international technology group says its five tissue machines are now successfully operating in Vietnam.
