ANDRITZ 17
The PrimeLineCOMPACT machine design from ANDRITZ is ideal for customers who appreciate a standardised, modular approach, say staff at Corelex Shin-Ei
The two identical ANDRITZ tissue machines recently installed
at Corelex Shin-Ei in Japan are mirror images of each other
constructed with three factors in mind: efficient production, the environment, and disaster management for the local region.
Strict noise control “We make every effort to adhere to all environmental requirements, and this mill has virtually zero emissions,” Kurosaki explains. “The most challenging for us are the noise regulations. There is a residential district right next to our mill. We are not allowed to make more than 45 decibels of noise
during night-time. For comparison, this is equivalent to the noise of a Toyota Prius hybrid car at idle.” Due to the modern facility and almost zero emissions, the mill looks and operates like a modern office building. Furthermore, trees have been planted to maintain the aesthetic beauty of the area, where Mount Fuji dominates in the skyline with its snow-capped peak.
Open for emergency relief The Pacific Ocean is only four kilometres away from the mill gate. Since Japan is vulnerable to earthquakes and tsunamis, the mill is purpose-built to resist such forces. Multiple steel stairwells provide access to the terrace surrounding the offices upstairs. “The evacuation space is 28m above sea level and is easily accessed,” Kurosaki says. Corelex Shin-Ei signed a disaster management agreement with other entities, including the city of Fuji, so that the mill could serve as
a refuge shelter for local residents if a crisis occurs. The offices can be quickly transformed into a civilian crisis centre with sustainable reserves of food and water.
Yankee – the heart of a tissue machine “Before making the decision about the tissue machines, we visited several suppliers,” says general plant manager Takemi Tanaka. “We got a good reference for the
ANDRITZ Steel Yankee delivered to Corelex Doh-Ei Paper, one of our group’s companies, in 2012.” Doh-Ei Paper replaced a cast
iron Yankee with an ANDRITZ Steel Yankee in order to get higher drying capacity and energy savings. According to Toshio Okunishi, group manager for ANDRITZ in Japan, the performance of an ANDRITZ PrimeDry Steel Yankee is better than the performance of a cast
