Vietnam’s Xuong Giang Paper has started up its second Andritz-supplied PrimeLineCOMPACT S 1300 tissue line at its plant in Song Khê – Nội Hoàng Industry Park, Bắc Giang Province.
With this new line Xuong Giang Paper’s tissue capacity will reach 72,000tpy.
Andritz supplied the first PrimeLineCOMPACT S 1300 to the company in 2020.
Both machines process virgin pulp to produce high-quality facial, toilet and towel paper with a speed of 1,300 m/min and a paper width of 2.85m.
It is equipped with a 12-ft. PrimeDry Steel Yankee with a steam-heated hood ensuring highly efficient drying and energy cost savings.
Tran Xuan Nam, Mill Director, Xuong Giang Paper, said: “We are proud to be able to continue and expand our strategy of sustainable high-quality tissue production.
“Especially the HC refining system and the Steel Yankee with the steam-heated hood make a difference in terms of fibre quality and energy efficiency.”
The stock preparation plant is split into separate systems for short and long fibres with high-consistency (HC) refining, which Andritz said will achieve “better fibre quality in terms of strength, softness and absorbency compared to conventional low-consistency systems.”
