Toscotec completes technological upgrade at Fripa

Fripa Papierfabrik Albert Friedrich has started up a TT NextPress shoe press supplied by Toscotec at their Miltenberg mill in Germany. The new shoe press has been operating efficiently for a few months and has fully achieved the targets of the rebuild. Resulting from R&D activities in cooperation with Voith, Toscotec’s new generation design of TT NextPress shoe press delivers superior dewatering performances and energy savings. It ensures a stable after-press dryness rate of more than 45% on a tissue line operating at a speed of 2,100 m/min, thereby guaranteeing a substantial energy consumption reduction, due to the fact that the Yankee and the hoods use significantly less thermal energy to complete the drying process.
