Toscotec supplying two tissue lines to Marutomi Group in Japan

JAPAN (News release) -- Toscotec has been awarded a landmark contract by the Marutomi Group to supply two MODULO-PLUS ES tissue lines. The machines will be installed at Marutomi Paper's mill and at Ono Paper's mill in Fuji city, Japan, and are scheduled for start-up respectively in the first and second half of 2019.

Toscotec will provide two MODULO-PLUS ES (Energy Saving) tissue machines, featuring a second generation Steel Yankee Dryer TT SYD, steam-heated hoods TT Milltech-DYH, and the shoe press TT NextPress. Each of the MODULO-PLUS ES machines has a sheet width of 2,850 mm, an operating speed of 1,500 m/min, and an annual production of over 22,000 tons. The scope is the same for both machines and comprises Toscotec's patented TT SAF (Short Approach Flow) system, a pope reel automatic shaft return system, an in-line shaft puller and the tissue machine's dust and mist removal systems. Toscotec will supply its proprietary Distributed Control System TT DCS, which was developed specifically for these projects on a Mitsubishi platform, in cooperation with the Japanese Corporation. The production lines' detailed engineering, erection supervision, commissioning and start-up assistance complete the supply.

Founded in 1955, Marutomi Paper is one of the main tissue producers in Japan, and acquired Ono Paper in 2006. The Marutomi Group today mainly specializes in toilet tissue from 100% recycled fiber, with an annual production output of 150,000 tons, of which 95% of toilet tissue and 5% of kitchen towel, and an estimated market share of 15%.
