The works at Filar, in Poland, are in full swing. Assembly of the Tissue Machine manufactured by Hergen is well on its way and start-up is scheduled for the first half of next year
The supplied machine is the EVO 12 model, with HCF 1225 Crescent Former, Suction Press with 1050 mm diameter and 3660-mm Yankee Cylinder made of steel
Designed to work at 1700 m/min, the machine will product 70 t/d of two-ply paper (15 g/m2) and up to 100 t/d of other types of paper
The project has two lines of pulp (hardwood and softwood), which allows for working with products that present excellent softness and resistance characteristics
High performance with energy savings
Paper production consumes a huge amount of energy. In a Tissue paper machine, the drying process accounts for about 70% of the machine’s energy consumption. This means that more efficient drying leads directly to significant energy savings
Hergen’s Yankee Cylinders are made of Steel. Due to the mechanical properties of this material, it can be significantly thinner than Cast Iron, increasing heat transfer by up to 35%, resulting in lower energy consumption for the same production
