Technologies, automation and services for tissue production

What is the tissue manufacturing process?

The tissue manufacturing process includes fiber preparation, stock preparation, forming, pressing, drying, converting, and packaging. Each stage influences product quality, production efficiency, energy consumption, and overall mill performance. Valmet supports tissue producers throughout the complete tissue manufacturing process.

What is tissue converting?

Tissue converting is the process of transforming a parent tissue reel into finished consumer or away-from-home products such as toilet tissue, paper towels, facial tissue, and napkins. Tissue converting typically includes rewinding, embossing, laminating, folding, packaging, and quality control.

What solutions are needed for modern tissue production?

Modern tissue production requires integrated solutions covering tissue making, tissue converting, packaging, automation, and lifecycle services. Combining these areas helps tissue producers improve productivity, maintain product quality, and achieve sustainability targets.

How can tissue mills improve production efficiency?

Tissue mills can improve production efficiency by optimizing machine performance, reducing energy and fiber consumption, increasing automation, and improving operational reliability. A combination of technology, services, and process expertise helps maximize long-term production performance.

Why is tissue converting important for product quality?

Tissue converting plays a critical role in determining the final product's appearance, softness, strength, and usability. Optimized converting processes help tissue producers achieve consistent product quality while improving production efficiency and reducing waste.

How does Valmet support tissue producers?

Valmet supports tissue producers throughout the complete lifecycle, from project planning and technology selection to installation, training, optimization, tissue converting support, and long-term services. This approach helps maintain efficient and reliable production over time.
