internal flow pattern of the IntensaPulper converts the flow energy into pulping performance. The HiClean HCL5-I cleaner is another addition to the range of energy-efficient components in the stock preparation line. Smooth interior surfaces and a flow-optimised head piece enable maximum separation efficiencies in this technology developed by Voith. Palm, with its headquarters at Aalen, is one of the leading paper makers in Europe. The group is divided into Papierfabrik Palm, consisting of five paper mills for paper production and capacity for 2.2 million tons a year, the Palm Packaging Group with 28 plants for the production of corrugated board with capacity for 700,000 tons a year, and Palm Recycling, consisting of two recycling companies. All paper and corrugated board products are made of 100 per cent recycled fibres from waste paper. Sales are about €1.6 billion a year.
New tissue line in Algeria is start of MENA region expansion
A new tissue making line at Africaine Paper Mills (APM) in Algeria has been started up by ANDRITZ.
The PrimeLineCompact has a design speed of 2,100 metres per min, a working width of 2.85m and produces tissue for high- quality facial wipes as well as toilet and towel paper grades. The machine is equipped with the latest PrimePress XT Evo shoe press, which is said to provide an energy-efficient design, improved dewatering, and less need for thermal drying. The line’s 16-foot diameter PrimeDry Steel Yankee provides a high drying capacity. The stock preparation system includes a FibreSolve FSV pulper and TwinFlo double-disc refiners as well as ModuScreen HBE headbox screens for the approach flow system. Fibre
recovery and broke handling were also supplied. “Start-up of the mill was a great success, and the collaboration with Andritz was very good. It is the first tissue machine for APM, and we are proud to announce the first paper on reel. For us, good paper quality combined with energy-efficiency
Boiler diagnostics system for Sun Paper in China
To optimise the availability and operation of a new recovery boiler for a mill at Sun Paper in China, a diagnostics system is being supplied by Valmet. The installation comprises a Furnace IR Camera System giving superior image quality and depth of view, enabling observation and analysis at full load. The system provides real-time ability to identify and correct problems, resulting in higher boiler availability, reduced risk of failure, improved heat transfer efficiency, and lower maintenance costs. The value of the diagnostics
system, which be installed before the end of 2019, will not be disclosed. Fei Da, project manager of Shandong Sun Paper Industry
Joint Stock Co, commented: “Valmet is an important partner for Shandong Sun Paper. We trust their people, technology and solutions. We believe their
combustion diagnostics and monitoring system will help to optimise our recovery boiler operation.” Chenglin Si, Valmet’s sales manager for automation in China, added: “We are very glad that we can now provide a wider range of offering to our pulp and paper customers. This high-tech combustion diagnostics meets well our customers’ needs, helps them to improve efficiency and safety, and provides possibilities to extend to advanced closed loop control to decrease the emissions of recovery boiler.”

is of utmost importance. The combination of a steel Yankee and a shoe press enables efficient drying with substantial energy savings,” said Ziad Haffar, general manager of APM. Expansion plans at APM include the building of paper mills in countries within the Middle East & North Africa (MENA) region.
