Valmet to Supply Tissue Machine to Lee & Man
Chinese paper producer Lee & Man has decided to invest in an Advantage DCT 200HS tissue line from Valmet.
The new tissue line will be installed at the company's Chongqing mill in Zhutuo Town, Yongchuan City, China. It is designed for production of high quality tissue products and the start-up is planned to be in late 2015.
"We are excited to work with Lee & Man in this project, supporting their environmental targets. Our Advantage Visco Nip press is specially designed for very high linear loads which combined with a cast alloy Yankee cylinder makes it possible to increase the paper dryness after press and reach significant drying energy savings," says Svenerik Olsson, Director, Tissue Mills Business Unit, Valmet China.
The new tissue machine will have a width of 5,6 metres and a design speed of 2 000 m/min. It will produce 60 000 tons of toilet and facial tissue per year, using virgin wood pulp and bleached bamboo fiber as raw material.
Valmet's scope of delivery will comprise a complete tissue production line featuring stock preparation systems and an Advantage DCT 200HS tissue machine. The machine will be equipped with an OptiFlo headbox and a cast alloy Yankee cylinder.
