Tissue machine with 20ft-diameter Yankee started up in China


mill in Chishui, Guizhou Province by Andritz has been successfully started up with the largest Yankee ever built. The new PrimeLineST machine, with a design speed of 2,000 m/ min and a paper width of 5.6 metres, will produce high-quality


T


he new TM5 tissue machine delivered to Guizhou Chitianhua Paper Industry Co at its


facial wipes, toilet paper, and paper tissues based on bamboo furnish.


The machine is currently unique on the Asian market because it combines a high-performance Yankee with a diameter of 20 feet that makes it the largest in the world. The Yankee and its steam- heated hood were manufactured at the Andritz facility at Foshan in China.


Scheduling upgraded at Arctic Paper by Greycon


Poland’s Arctic Paper has contracted Greycon to upgrade its processes with the latest scheduling and trim optimisation systems, opt-Studio and X-Trim. In 2002 Greycon first implemented S-Plan and X-Trim at Arctic Paper’s paper mills based at Kostrzyn in Poland. Since then Arctic Paper has been a long-standing client of Greycon’s. Arctic Paper Kostrzyn SA is


the largest manufacturer of offset papers in Poland. The mill


produces more than 280,000 tonnes of high quality papers both in reels and sheets every year, more than three-quarters of which is exported to countries such as Germany, the UK, France and the Benelux. The Greycon planning system is


tightly integrated with the mill’s manufacturing execution systems and forms a critical component in the daily management of Arctic Paper’s operation. Piotr Stolowski, planning and supply chain manager at Arctic


Paper, commented: “One of the benefits we are really pleased with in the new Greycon solution is the enhanced functionality. There is quite a lot in there. “One exceptional aspect worth


mentioning is that the other departments did not even notice that the old system disappeared and a new one came instead. This means of course that the integration was functioning very smoothly from day one. The implementation team were excellent and completed


thorough tests to make this happen.” The move to opt-Studio and


X-Trim’s latest releases has delivered additional benefits to Arctic Paper. There is improved usability and performance, compared to the existing daily scheduling system from Greycon, which kept the mill in operation 24/7. Incoming orders are automatically scheduled into runs and trimmed with algorithms to minimise waste at the winder and cutter machines.
