While 2020 saw its share of dramatic pulp price increases, 2021 was staggering. European pulp costs rose 53%, followed by Asian and US market increases of 47% and 40% respectively.

Improving Line Safety and Efficiencies With Advanced Equipment Automation

Like any industry predicated on production, tissue manufacturing and converting presents a certain amount of peril to workers. The amount of equipment and humans on a production floor alone can make for hazardous situations, not to mention the often heavy, sharp, and quickly moving parts within that equipment that workers must be cognizant of at all times to prevent injury if safe practices and machine safety procedures are not being followed or used.

Accurate data makes the difference

Since 2021, Leipziger Wasserwerke in Germany has successfully relied on two Valmet Total Solids Measurement (Valmet TS) units at their largest wastewater treatment plant, enabling the plant to significantly reduce its operating costs.

Advantage™ ViscoNip® Press Services

It is the new standard for wet pressing technology. A flexible liquid filled press body gives the Advantage™ ViscoNip® press the unique ability to adapt to the Yankee dryer shell. You can lower the environmental footprint in your tissue production by saving fiber, energy and reducing CO2. The amount of water removed in press section correlates directly with needed drying energy in the drying section. In comparison to a normal suction press roll it can consume up to 15% less energy and a 35% reduction in gas consumption.

Converting fold solutions - Configurable lines

There’s no universal approach to tissue manufacturing. Balancing advanced technology and Valmet converting line customization leads to desired results.
