RTS TMP

Energy savings and high-quality fiber

The patented Andritz RTS TMP process significantly reduces refining energy while producing mechanical pulp with excellent characteristics. RTS is the most advanced and energy-efficient TMP technology.

Residence time (R), Temperature (T), Speed (S)

Optimized residence time preserves optical properties, while increased temperature results in higher pulp strength and reduced shive content. By elevating the primary stage refining intensity through higher speeds, considerable energy is saved without compromising pulp quality.

Benefits of RTS TMP technology

• 10 – 15% less specific refining energy due to higher refining intensity in primary stage
• Improved bonding strength due to more fiber splitting
• Enhanced sheet smoothness
• Lower linting propensity
• Lower shive content
