ANDRITZ successfully starts up second tissue machine with steel Yankee for Hebei Yihoucheng, China

The PrimeLineCOMPACT tissue machine has a design speed of 1,650 m/min and a width of 2.85 m. The Yankee, manufactured entirely of steel, has a diameter of 3.65 m. It is the “twin” of its predecessor, the TM1, that was started-up successfully in 2014.
The order also included supply of the complete stock preparation plant, automation, and drives. The tissue machine and its components were manufactured at ANDRITZ production sites in Europe and China. With this turnkey delivery, ANDRITZ is once more strengthening its position as one of the leading suppliers of tissue machines and services to the Chinese paper industry.
The start-up teams of Hebei Yihoucheng and ANDRITZ celebrate the first paper on reel.
