PMP to Supply Second Intelli-Tissue EcoEc Machine for Hebei Xuesong

 
Hebei Xuesong Paper Co., China, has signed a contract with PMP Group, Poland, for a second Intelli-Tissue® EcoEc machine. The decision was made only six months after TM 1, which also was supplied by PMP Group, was successfully started up at Hebei Xuesong Paper.

TM 2 (twin line to TM 1) with the brand name of Intelli-Tissue® 1200 EcoEc tissue machine, has a reel trim of 2,850 mm, a design speed of 1,200 m/min, and a capacity of 60 metric tpd (basis weight 12.5-20 gsm). After the TM 2 installation, Hebei Xuesong Paper will have two machines (right and left hand) in the same building, based on an integrated tissue mill concept.

Hebei Xuesong Paper, located in the Hebei Province, was founded in 1987 and produces high-quality tissue products under the "Xuesong" brand. Its first Intelli-Tissue 1200 EcoEc was brought on-stream in April 2014, and just five days after startup the maximum production capacity and tissue quality guarantees were achieved. Recently, steam consumption reached an ultra-low level of 1.6-1.8 t/t, helping to significantly minimize production costs.
 
 

As with TM 1, TM 2 will also be executed based on the philosophy of "Optimum Cost Solution," including a tissue machine full design in Europe (PMPoland), manufacturing of the key components such as a Intelli-Jet V® hydraulic headbox and a Intelli-YD™ steel yankee in Europe (PMPoland), and the remaining manufacturing, tissue machine pre-assembly, and tests completed at the Center of Excellence of PMP Group—PMP IB Machinery & Technology, Changzhou, China. This combination ensures lower cost investment for the customer, while maintaining excellent quality of the equipment supplied, PMP notes.

PMP will provide a stock approach system, the Intelli-Tissue 1200 EcoEc machine, mechanical drives, electrical drives, a lubrication system, a steam and condensate system, and the PLC. The PMP team will be responsible for erection supervision and technological startup. 

The model of a right and left hand machine layout in one building is the most compact solution and the two machines can share a common spare parts base. As a result, both space and costs are saved as well as the number of personnel required to run the installations.
