Toscotec 's delivery includes a major rebuild of the PM2 dry end and press section, which will be replaced with a TT DOES (Drying Optimization for Energy Saving) package. This will features a double presses solution with a rebuild of the felt run, a new TT SYD-15FT with doctoring system and a Duo-system Yankee hood, SMART eMT type from Milltech.

The wet end hood is burner feeding type, the dry end hood could be fed either by cogeneration gases or con-ventional burner (normally with COG on is switched off). Exhaust gases are used to generate two stages of steam (high and low pressure) through steam generators in addition to the heat recovery to pre-heat the make-up and com-bustion air. Maximum drying production with a machine trim width at reel of 3,050 mm will be 130 t/d. With this new intervention the PM2 consumption will be lower than 1,350 kWh/t.

According to the LC Paper CEO Joan Vila, this investment will allow to increase the competitiveness of the Company. ”After a detailed analysis of our project we decided to choose once more Milltech and Toscotec for the innovative solu-tion they were able to introduce, that is aligned with LC Paper business philosophy as well as for the previous positive experience we have done on PM3”, he said.
