Syassky Pulp and Paper Mill, St. Petersburg, Russia, has signed a contract with Toscotec, Italy, for the supply of a new tissue line at its mill in Syasstroy, in the Leningrad region of Russia. The new Toscotec AHEAD tissue machine, designed for production of high quality tissue products, will replace the Syassky mill’s existing PM 3 after its dismantling and will come on stream in first half of 2016.

The investment in a new PM 3 line is part of a huge investment program by Syassky during the past few years to better expand its growing market in terms of quantity and quality. The new line employs Toscotec’s latest state of the art technology, with the aim of improving the mill’s products and reducing its energy costs.

The scope of supply includes an AHEAD-1.5M crescent former tissue machine with a single-layer headbox, single press configuration with suction pressure roll TT SPR1045, a 12-ft.-dia. steel yankee dryer TT SYD-12FT, and a reel section TT Reel-P. The delivery will also include the approach flow system, stock preparation plant, gas heated hood, and steam and condensate system from Toscotec associate Milltech, as well as electrification and control system. Engineering and services (erection supervision, commissioning and startup assistance, and training) complete the package.

Machine speed will be up to 1,400 m/min. with a trim width of 4,200 mm, for a daily production of 125 metric tons, both from dry and slush pulps. 

The Syasstroy site already houses an AHEAD-1.5M tissue machine supplied by Toscotec in 2012 to replace the existing PM 2 as well as two TT WIND-H rewinders (for PM 2 and PM 3 lines) that came on stream in 2010 and 2012, respectively.
