Metalicplas SRL, a member company of MG Tec Group, one of Romania’s leading industrial groups, has successfully completed the installation and startup of a new tissue line at the Dej mill in Romania. The new PM 1 tissue machine, supplied by ABK Group Italia, Italy, is designed to operate at 1,600 m/min, with a trim width at the reel of 2,850 mm, and a production capacity of 82 metric tpd. The investment adds 25,000 metric tpy of 100% cellulose toilet paper, napkin, and towel grades to both the domestic and export market.

The scope of supply includes a single-layer headbox and single suction press configuration, 3.6 m dia. cast iron yankee dryer (see photo), and an M.D.S. last-generation energy saving gas heated hood. Stock preparation, approach flow system, winder, machine auxiliaries, water treatment, electrification, and control system complete the scope of supply.

With erection and installation works accomplished in a record time of three months from the laying of soleplates, trials and startup activities went smooth and, after less than two weeks, the machine was already producing good quality tissue paper with efficiency of more than 90%.
