The dryer section modification includes the application of TT SteelDryer technology throughout the entire paper machine, with 5 sections and a total number of 42 dryers. The deal also includes the supply of an advanced rope-less tail threading system and sheet stabilisation, designed to reach an operating speed of 1000mpm.

"The company aims to improve efficiency with the rebuild, as well as increase operating speeds."

To be supervised and commissioned by Toscotec, the expected erection and start-up is scheduled for the beginning of next year. Currently, steel dryer Toscotec technology is running over 1,200 units across the globe and has been providing drying capacity.

The new 11bar coded TT SteelDryers provide higher heat transfer rates due to the thinner shell thickness of the steel dryer. It also provides wider drying face length with the same space requirements, leading to the possibility of drying a wider sheet width.
