All of the dismantling and assembly operations will be performed and synchronized to minimize the mill’s downtime. The scope of the supply includes a MODULO-PLUS in crescent former configuration, with a single-layer headbox. Approach flow, electrical and control systems, together with dismantling of the existing machine and installation of the new one, supervision, and assistance for startup will all be performed by Toscotec.
