ANDRITZ debuts new tissue machine for dry crepe tissue
March 12, 2020 By P&PC Staff
ANDRITZ has released a new tissue machine for the production of dry crepe tissue.
The PrimeLineVRT features a vertical CrescentFormer in the forming section that enhances dewatering of the fibre web. This enables higher dryness right after the press section and an increase in paper caliper.
Depending on the grade and basis weight of the paper produced, between two and four additional percentage points of dryness can be achieved after the press section compared to standard CrescentFormer configurations.
The machine does not require additional fabrics or fabric loops, nor does it require extra space in the basement for installation.
The PrimeLineVRT was developed and extensively tested at the ANDRITZ Tissue Innovation and Application Center in Graz, Austria.
