International technology Group ANDRITZ received an order from the Hengan Group, China, to supply four tissue machines with Steel Yankees to mills in Changde and Chongqing. After the start-up of these machines, which is scheduled for 2014, the Hengan Group will be producing tissue on 13 ANDRITZ tissue machines.
This year, ANDRITZ has successfully started up four high-speed tissue machines for the Hengan Group, two of which are fitted with the largest steel Yankees for tissue applications.
The four new tissue machines, PrimeLineTM W8 designs, will have a design speed of 2,000 m/min and a width of 5.6 m. Each will be equipped with a Steel Yankee (diameter 18 ft.). ANDRITZ’s scope of supply also includes the complete stock preparation plant and the automation equipment.
The ANDRITZ PULP & PAPER business area, which manufactures its tissue machine components in Europe and China, is confirming its position as one of the leading suppliers of tissue machines and local services in China. ANDRITZ will be presenting its latest tissue technology at Tissue World Asia in Shanghai (November 14-16, 2012) and at Tissue World Barcelona (March 19-21, 2013).
