Valmet: Advantage DCT tissue line started upt a Wuhan Chenming mill

A new tissue line delivered by Valmet (previous Metso Pulp, Paper and Power) successfully came on stream at Wuhan Chenming Hanyang Paper Co. Ltd's mill in Wuhan, China, in November 2013. This is the customer's first tissue line.

 
 

The new Advantage DCT 200HS tissue line started up ten days before the estimated time and is now producing high quality tissue at high speed. With a width of 5.6 m and an operating speed of 1,900 m/min, the new production line will produce 60,000 t/y of high-quality facial, toilet and towel grades. The raw material for the new line is virgin pulp.

"Valmet met our expectations for a fast delivery, smooth installation, commissioning and start-up, and we are looking forward to further expand our co-operation", says Liu Junhua, project responsible of Wuhan Chenming TM1.

The delivery comprised a complete production line with stock preparation equipment and an Advantage DCT 200 HS tissue machine including an OptiFlo II TIS multi-layer headbox, a cast alloy Yankee cylinder, an Advantage AirCap hood, an Advantage WetDust dust management system and an Advantage SoftReel reel. The delivery also featured Valmet's patented Advantage ViscoNip pressing technology.
