ShinFuji, Japan 09th April 2013 - The Japanese Tissue Producer Marutomi has chosen the excellence of Toscotec Steel Yankee Dryer to replace the existing 12 FT Cast Iron Yankee on Fujine mill, located in Fuji, Shizuoka Prefecture.

The PM#1 tissue machine features a crescent former configuration with a sheet width at pope reel of 3140 mm.
The new Toscotec TT SYD-12FT, will be installed within the end of 2013.

The supply will be provided according to the local regulation and to the JIS (Japanese Boiler Association) standards. Related services will be also part of the scope of supply.
