Production: Tissue
Supplier: Andritz
Description: Andritz has successfully started up the new high-temperature PrimeDry Hood HT and air system supplied for the rebuild of a tissue machine at Kartogroup España’s mill in Burriana, Spain. The new equipment installed on the PM4 tissue machine features an optimized impingement distribution of the hood nozzle boxes, a heat recovery system, a state-of-the-art burner management system and Yankee head insulation. These solutions maximize the hood drying performance while reducing the specific energy consumption. They also result in increased safety and a significant reduction of CO2 emissions. Andritz’s scope of supply also included installation supervision, commissioning, training, and start-up assistance.
Details: Pascual Gómez, COO of Kartogroup, said: “the rebuild will significantly reduce gas and steam consumption and lower emissions at our mill, making our production more sustainable and cost- effective. Thanks to the seamless collaboration and personalized approach of the Andritz team, the entire project went smoothly and was completed on schedule”.
