Wepa Group is one of the largest tissue manufacturers in Europe, with 13 sites, 21 paper machines, a production of approx. 780,000 t/year, and a positive annual growth trend. Since 2002, Toscotec and Wepa’s cooperation has been particularly strong at Wepa Marsberg-Giershagen, where Toscotec supplied a new tissue line on a turnkey basis, completely rebuilt PM 5 in two different steps and installed new hoods on other two existing machines, with the result that all tissue machines at the mill are now equipped with TT Hoods.

PM 4 and PM 7 Hood rebuilds: Consumption reduction & Speed increase

In order to evaluate the return on the investment, it is always interesting to compare the efficiency of the equipment – consumption and performance - before and after the rebuild. This comparison is particularly clear if we look at PM 4 and PM 7, where the modification involved only the hoods and the air system. After the installation of TT Hood on PM 4, the mill achieved a 12.5% reduction in gas consumption and 50mpm increase in machine speed. The results on PM 7 were similar, with a 13.3% reduction in gas consumption and 50mpm increase in speed.

In general terms, for a tissue machine that produces 30,000 t/y with a thermal consumption of 1.3MWh/t, 10% of drying energy savings equals a cost reduction of approximately 4 €/t, i.e. 120,000 €/y. Additional savings coming from electrical load reduction and machine speed increase must also be considered.

The above figures offer a clear picture of the potential benefits coming from the use of fully updated equipment including state-of-the-art devices dedicated to:

  • Energy saving: complete heat recovery chains for steam generation, air and water heating
  • Hoods regulation: automatic balancing system
  • Pollutants control: burner management system, burner control and fine-tuning

TT Hoods: customized technology for the highest reliability

TT Hoods are entirely custom-made, in order to meet the needs of the paper machine. At WEPA Giershagen, Toscotec calculated the best combination of the open area, hole diameter, and hole pattern to achieve top performance and efficiency.

TT Hoods are designed and manufactured at Toscotec’s headquarters in Lucca, where its engineers and workers have more than 20 years of experience in hoods and air systems. This expertise guarantees the reliability and the constant improvement of their design and performances.

The art of project management in rebuild projects

Finally, time schedule is always essential in rebuild activities. Wepa Giershagen required Toscotec to schedule every phase of the project, allocating the right resources and time, in order to guarantee an accurate paper-to-paper machine shutdown period. On Wepa Giershagen PM 7 for example, the scheduled paper-to-paper shutdown was of 360 hours. The entire work was completed and tested in only 332 hours, i.e. 28 hours ahead of schedule.

Skjern Paper is Denmark’s only paper mill. Founded in 1965, it is situated in Skjern, West Jutland. Since 2005, the ownership majority has been held by Buur Invest A/S, a Danish privately-owned investment company. The mill’s current annual capacity is 75,000 tonnes, including a range of products - coreboard, grey and blueliner, greyboard and sheets - produced from 100% recycled fibres. Skjern Paper is strongly export-oriented, with over 90% of its production sold to packaging and paper businesses in Europe.

In the third quarter of 2019, Toscotec carried out a complete rebuild of its PM1 dryer section, delivering 19 TT SteelDryers. The scope of supply was on a turnkey basis, including dismantling operations, erection, commissioning and start-up. In this interview, Kurt Larsen, Project Engineer at Skjern Paper, shares his views on the main aspects of the rebuild and his overall evaluation.

In 2019, Skjern Paper selected Toscotec to rebuild its PM1. Why did you decide to make this investment? And why did you choose Toscotec?

The main driver for the investment was the need to increase our dryer capacity. PM1 started producing at Skjern in 1967, but it was a second-hand machine, and some of its cast iron dryers dated back to the mid-1940s, some even all the way back to 1927! In order to overcome our drying capacity limits, we decided to install steel cylinders of bigger diameter, operating at a much higher steam pressure (10 barg), new frame and drives that could reach a higher speed. Toscotec’s new dryer section can achieve 800 m/min, which is double the maximum speed we had before.

2020 11 04 093332

Secondly, we chose steel dryers against cast iron, because of their higher heat transfer efficiency and better safety. In terms of safety, steel cans are definitely a much better choice.

Among the suppliers we evaluated, Toscotec proved to have the most substantial experience in the design, manufacturing, operation and maintenance of steel dryers. TT SteelDryers have an incredible number of references around the world and they are manufactured internally by Toscotec. This meant we could have one single supplier for the whole dryer section, which solves the problem of grey zones in-between different manufacturers, which would save us a lot of headaches in the end. Skjern considered this aspect a great added value.

Focusing on the rebuild itself, was the project delivered on schedule? How do you evaluate its overall management?

The project was completed on schedule. Other prospective suppliers had foreseen a much longer shutdown period, but Toscotec implemented the whole rebuild within a shutdown period of only 11 days, including dismantling the old equipment and erection of the new dryer section and hood. This timeline was key for us, because bringing the production to a complete stop makes it tough for us to be the flexible supplier we want to be.

Overall, the project management was very well executed. We had committed and competent people at our disposal, and we got all the support we needed on time.

What have you achieved with this rebuild?

First of all, we have registered a production increase of more than 11% so far, but we expect to achieve even more after removing the bottlenecks we still have in the wet-end and press section. Secondly, the rebuild lifted the speed limit we had, allowing us to increase the machine speed, particularly for lower grammages.

What can you tell us about the erection, commissioning and start-up?

The erection was very efficient. We were working 24/7 under safe conditions, without any injuries. Start-up went very smoothly, with a delay of only one day, which was not caused by Toscotec. We are very satisfied with the onsite implementation of the rebuild.

How would you describe the cooperation with Toscotec?

We had very good cooperation with Toscotec. They were attentive to our needs and committed to meet them in the best possible way. If during the erection we had an extra job for them to do or they needed something from us, we helped each other, so that the work was flowing really well. They proved to be very flexible and cooperative. For example, they lent out several people for a few days to help finish up some pipe work. They were working with us towards a shared objective and did not back out when we needed extra help. This is very important to a small mill such as ours, because we have limited resources and therefore we appreciate a supplier who is prepared to go the extra mile to get the job done.

Toscotec successfully completed a hood rebuild on PM 1 at WEPA Mainz in Germany. After a tight shutdown timeframe, PM 1 started up on schedule last year. Following a period of stable running conditions, it successfully completed the performance test, and outperformed the technical guarantees of the rebuild by having excellent results for drying capacity and gas consumption.

The rebuild was a turnkey operation, including gas-fired TT Hood, an air system fitted with low-emission burners, several stages of energy recovery, and the complete electrification system for the scope. Toscotec’s high efficiency TT Hoods deliver an even distribution of air on the paper sheet, ensuring a perfectly uniform moisture profile in cross direction. WEPA also ordered a complete service package including dismantling operations, erection, commissioning, and start-up assistance.

Since 2006, Toscotec supplied seven hood rebuilds to WEPA at five different mills in Germany and Italy. The successful outcome of these projects has been consistently a reduction of gas and power consumption higher than the contract guarantees and a significant increase in the run-ability of the machine, both in terms of overall efficiency and cross direction moisture profile.

2020 09 16 094841

Per Thorneman, technical manager and project manager at WEPA Mainz says: “The preparation, the processing, the commissioning and the follow-up were always cooperative and professional. Even if the time frame for the shutdown of the plant was very challenging and could only be kept in two shifts over 24 hours.”

Rene Martin production manager PM 1 at WEPA Mainz, says: “The new hoods and the new air system work efficiently and deliver good results in terms of the uniformity of the profile as well as the gas and electricity consumption. We have significantly reduced our operating costs.”

Elena Troia, Toscotec Energy sales manager, says, “From a technical point of view, this rebuild was very interesting for the size of TT Hoods – for an 18 foot Yankee, double width – and for its turnkey scope. Toscotec evaluated the running conditions of the existing equipment and developed a tailor-made solution to improve PM 1’s performance and energy consumptions. WEPA set a very tight shutdown period, but we met their targets and we are happy to see that the new TT Hoods have been running efficiently since start-up.”

Following a complete design upgrade of its rewinder line, Toscotec launched the new OPTIMA rewinders. The new line has achieved recognition in the market with eight rewinders already sold in Europe, North America and Asia, including single and double width machines. With six OPTIMA lines as part of turnkey orders by C.A.S. Paper Mill in Thailand, Paloma in Slovenia, Cartiera Confalone in Italy and Essel in Turkey, Toscotec further strengthens its position as advanced technology supplier of complete lines from the tissue machine down to the rewinder. The other two rewinders were sold to leading tissue manufacturers that remain confidential.

The new OPTIMA line preserves the bulk and softness of the parent reels and boosts winding performance, thereby increasing the overall production efficiency.

2020 09 10 075206Toscotec’s OPTIMA rewinder.

Securing softness and quality

Through an innovative combination of center wind assist control of the parent reels, unwinding web tensioning system and rewinding nip control system, OPTIMA rewinders preserve tissue quality and deliver optimal reel uniformity.

The unwinding stands feature a compensation system for out-of-round parent reels and a Center Wind Assist (CWA) control, which consists of a combination of belt driven and center drive system, which reduces the pressure applied on the paper by the belts of the unwinding stands. Compared with different systems available on the market, this system reduces the generation of dust and the installed power, which is shared between the belt and the CWA through a motor torque sharing design.

OPTIMA’s efficient web tensioning system avoids elongation loss throughout the rewinder. This is achieved by continuously and precisely controlling the speed of the drive motors, also during machine acceleration and deceleration, in order to carefully guide the paper down to the rewinding station, while avoiding stretching it.

The rewinding section features an automatic nip control system, operating through the load cells installed on the rider roll and the core chucks, which send continuous feedback to the control system, so that the actual thickness and bulk of the wound reel is detected and adjusted in real time.

As a result, bulk loss is guaranteed to be less than 3% and the elongation loss below 2 units.

Higher production efficiency

OPTIMA control system delivers the highest operation accuracy by ensuring that the wound reels have the same length and density. Uniform reel density throughout the mill’s working shifts results in an increase of winding efficiency and ultimately converting efficiency.

OPTIMA’s nip control system and the consequent preservation of the bulk properties of the parent reels allow for a reduction of the creping ratio set on the tissue machine, thereby avoiding slowing down the tissue machine and reducing its daily production because of excessive elongation on the rewinder. This results in an increase in the overall efficiency of the tissue line.

The OPTIMA rewinder line can be equipped with a fully automated shaft puller, featuring compact design for easy transportation and installation in limited space, and optimal alignment between the wound reel and the puller.
