PMP SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTS ANOTHER INTELLI-NIP® SHOE PRESS
NEW PRESS SECTION INTELLI-PRESS® FOR PM#1 APIS SZCZECIN- SKOLWIN, POLAND
Read more:
In February 2016, PMP (Paper Machinery Producer) launched another Intelli-Nip® Shoe Press as a core technological item of a new press section Intelli-Press® for Apis Sp. z o.o., Szczecin-Skolwin, Poland.
Intelli-Nip® Shoe Press technology is great hybrid of energy saving solution & impressive paper properties and is recently a desired solution worldwide. At present, PMP is executing 4 projects that include its shoe press solution: in USA, Mexico, Columbia and China.
The customer decided to re-start an existing PM#1 (reel trim 5425 mm), originally built by Fampa (a predecessor of PMP), and change its production profile from newsprint into fluting and liner grades.
Beside a production’s philosophy change, it was important to reach an annual production capacity goal at the level of 100 000 tpa of premium quality fluting and liner grades (basis weight range : 80-140 g/m2 ) at operating speed of 500 mpm.
To meet budget expectations, a scope of delivery was divided between parties. Apis team took care of a significant number of changes in the area of a stock preparation system and a PM’s wet end (a headbox and a wire) and in addition a refurbished size press was added. Whereas a new press section was fully designed and built by PMP (based on deliveries and services provided by PMP’s Polish divisions: PMPoland S.A. and PMP Rolls & Services).
PMP was also responsible for: pre-assembly services of the press section, movement tests before shipment, logistics, on site services including: erection, commissioning, start-up, training and optimization.
To achieve technological project goals within a press section area, PMP designed a modern Intelli-Press®, including 3 nips: a plain roll – on the 1st position (nip load 90 kN/m), a suction roll – on the 2nd position (nip load 30-40 kN/m) and the Intelli-Nip® Shoe Press on the 3rd position (design nip load 750 kN/m, module type: 1300).
A sophisticated press section configuration helps to achieve a dryness after press at the level of 50% following low steam consumption figures, supports reaching PM targeted annual capacity significantly and, in a visible way, reduces open draws increasing production effectiveness (higher PM effectiveness, stable PM operation, less paper breaks). In addition, shoe press technology helps to achieve expected paper properties especially much better bulk and stiffness.
This particular project is an example where PMP’s technological knowledge combined with high-tech equipment can become a key factor to achieve common success. Intelli-Nip® Shoe Press technology, supported by patented solutions, ensures reliable PM performance and top sheet dryness level resulting in significant steam consumption savings and user-friendliness.

Exactly a year ago (January 2015), Hebei Xuesong Paper Co., Ltd signed a contract with PMP (Paper Machinery Producer) for the delivery of 2nd Intelli-Tissue® EcoEc machine. That was a natural consequence of a successful start-up of the 1st machine six months before.
Efficient cooperation between two companies started from TM#1 project in 2013. First Intelli-Tissue® 1200 EcoEc was brought on stream in April 2014 and thanks to excellent cooperation between Hebei Xuesong Paper and PMP, just 5 days after start-up, the maximum production capacity and tissue quality guarantees were achieved. TM#1 is characterized by an ultra-low level of steam consumption (1.6-1.8 t/t) – the best in the industry in this level of technological solution. Optimized paramaters help to significantly minimize production costs and increase sales margins.
On January 16th this year, PMP successfully started up 2nd Intelli-Tissue® 1200 EcoEc at Hebei Xuesong mill. TM#2 (twin sister line to TM#1) is characterized by reel trim of 2850 mm, design speed of 1200 m/min and daily capacity 60 t/d (basis weight 12.5-20 gsm). After TM#2 installation, Hebei Xuesong Paper have two machines (right and left hand) in the same building based on an Integrated Tissue Mill concept. We are proud to announce that paper at reel appeared 3 hours after supplying the stock, at the same time paper reached saleable parameters on the 2nd jumbo roll.
TM#2 is a twin-sister machine of TM#1 and is also based on philosophy of Optimum Cost Solution including tissue machine fully designed in Europe, manufacturing of the key components such as a Intelli-Jet V® hydraulic headbox and a Intelli-YD™ steel Yankee in Europe, and the remaining manufacturing, tissue machine pre-assembly and tests completed at the Center of Excellence of PMP Group: PMP IB (Changzhou) Machinery & Technology, Changzhou (China). This combination has ensured to lower the cost investment for the customer, while maintaining excellent quality of the equipment supplied. PMP has provided a stock approach system, Intelli-Tissue® 1200 EcoEc machine, mechanical drives, electrical drives, a lubrication system, a steam & condensate system and PLC. The PMP team has also been responsible for an erection supervision and technological start-up.
The same model of right and left hand machines layout in one building is the most compact solution and the two machines can share a common spare parts base. As a result, both space and costs are saved as well as number of personnel required to run the installations. Finally, the valuable experience of PMP gained from TM#1 project has made TM#2 even more adapted to the customer’s requirements.
