Sofidel has completed a major rebuild of its Toscotec-supplied PM1 tissue machine at its Roanne mill in France.
The start-up follows a modernisation project to increase the site’s energy efficiencies.
Davide Mainardi, Sofidel’s Chief Technical Officer, said: “Operations unfolded as intended.
“The revamping is aimed at improving production efficiency and reducing the plant’s environmental footprint, with an estimated annual reduction of approximately 1,200 tons of CO₂ emissions.”
This rebuild includes a new TT SYD Steel Yankee Dryer and TT NextPress shoe press.
The dry section’s upgrade also includes new hoods, a steam and condensate system, and an air system, featuring a TT Swing System.
A new TT Headbox that is suitable for working with the current twin wire configuration has also been supplied.
