International technology Group ANDRITZ has launched the latest innovation in low-consistency refining – the TwinFlo Prime refiner, combining concentrated performance in a very compact design.
Paper and board sheeters and winders more than 10 years old, usually need to be refurbished in order to improve their efficiency. For this reason, upgrading this type of machines is the best option, as the return on investment is short-term.
The two CrescentFormer tissue machines (TM13, TM15) of the type PrimeLineST W8 have a design speed of 1,900 m/min, a paper width of 5.6 m, and a total design capacity of up to 120,000 tons of tissue per year. The machines process pre-dried bleached bamboo pulp, NBKP and LBKP market pulp to produce high-quality facial tissue, toilet paper, paper towels, handkerchiefs, and napkins. Both tissue machines are equipped with an 18 ft. PrimeDry Steel Yankee and a PrimeDry Hood ST with steam heating to enable highly efficient drying while saving energy.
Toscotec has recently introduced TT Defender, a leading-edge patented innovation that provides Yankee dryers with an effective internal protection coating against corrosive steam. Toscotec has successfully tested TT Defender at Lucart Group’s Diecimo tissue mill in Italy on a TT SYD that came online in February 2020.

Pasaban Upgrades, the ideal solution to get the best out of your paper and cardboard converting equipment.
Upgrading sheeters and winders is essential if you want to increase the life of old machines and improve their performance.
The benefits of this type of maintenance include increasing the availability and the performance of the machine and improving the quality of the finished product. In turn, you will increase productivity, mitigate obsolescence and enable the automation of some of the machine's processes.
With +Pro, Voith has added another product to its range of Efficiency Add-Ons for press fabrics. Through shorter start-up times, longer life cycles and reduced wear, the modular product extensions help paper manufacturers to increase the efficiency of their machines and make the production process more sustainable.
Problems are often encountered with conventional rolls when processing pulp. The rolls cause high specific pressures as well as a short nip. To prevent this, Voith is now offering a new polyurethane (PU) roll cover that has been developed for press rolls: the IntensePress. This has been specifically designed for use in the demanding applications of pulp machines and twin-wire presses.
Modern Karton, the largest manufacturer of cardboard packaging and packaging paper in Turkey, recently signed a contract with Voith for the extension and modernization of its existing OCC line. Within the scope of the contract, Voith will also supply a new stock preparation line for pulp and recovered paper. The new order follows the successful upgrade and expansion of the existing DIP line.
