Third and fourth tissue machines started up by Vinda Paper in China


C


hinese tissue maker Vinda Paper has successfully started two more machines, TM3


and TM4, at its Longyou mill in Zhejiang province.


The machines supplied by


Toscotec in Italy were started on schedule and increase the mill’s capacity by 60,000 tons per year. The Ahead-2.0M tissue lines are


designed for the production of premium quality tissue products, including toilet paper and facial tissue.


Vinda Paper’s mill now has four


Toscotec tissue lines, with two Ahead-1.5M machines installed in 2014 and the two Ahead- 2.0M machines. These are said to offer the lowest possible energy consumption, thanks


to a comprehensive energy saving concept, TT DOES (Drying Optimization for Energy Saving). “I was proud to see another


Toscotec’s tissue machine start up at Vinda’s mill. Under the expert operation of Vinda Zhejiang’s


technicians, the new Ahead-2.0M lines will perform to meet the customer’s expectations. We also expect to achieve yet again great results in terms of reductions of the energy cost.” said Marco Dalle Piagge, sales director of Toscotec.


Recovery boiler will provide ‘lowest energy consumption in Europe’


Global packaging manufacturer Smurfit Kappa is making a multi-million euro investment in technology at its Nettingsdorf Paper Mill that will significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions while increasing production. The project – the precise value of which was not revealed – consists of building a ‘state-of- the-art’ recovery boiler by 2020 and a new steam turbine by 2022, which is claimed will offer the lowest energy consumption in the paper industry. The new boiler will produce


energy from biomass, reducing carbon dioxide emissions at


July/August 2017


the Nettingsdorf mill by 40,000 tonnes, which represents a 1.5 per cent reduction in the Smurfit Kappa Group. It recently announced in its 2016 Sustainability Development Report that it has already cut carbon dioxide emissions by 23 per cent, well on the way to meeting its 2020 target of 25 per cent.


Commenting on the investment,


Günter Hochrathner, chief executive of Smurfit Kappa Nettingsdorf, said: “This is a very positive step for the mill. The new boiler and turbine will help us to become even more efficient,


which in turn will benefit both our people and the wider community. Nettingsdorf Paper Mill has a long history in the area and this investment in technology secures the long-term future of the mill. “At Smurfit Kappa, we believe in sustainability in every fibre because, by taking a sustainable approach to every aspect of our company and products, we become more efficient. This new development will enable us to ensure the long-term supply of the high-quality, sustainable container board our customers expect from us.” Saverio Mayer, chief executive


of Smurfit Kappa Europe, added: “This investment builds on our commitment to help create a sustainable future by building a profitable business based on responsible principles. Sustainable innovation creates value for our customers and our shareholders – but it also plays a vital role in ensuring that the communities surrounding our sites are part of our long-term vision.” The Nettingdorf mill was


established in 1851 and currently produces kraftliner and testliner for use in secondary paper packaging.
