WEPA chooses again Toscotec to upgrade Cassino tissue plant in Italy.
Lucca, 25/02/2016 - Toscotec, the Lucca-based supplier of advanced solutions for the tissue and paper industry, has been awarded to provide a major rebuild to the WEPA PM#13 machine located in Cassino, Italy. This new project will complete the multiple steps of the plant upgrade assigned to Toscotec and started in 2010 with the rebuild of the original machine into crescent former and continued in 2013 with the installation of Toscotec-Milltech Yankee Hood complete with Heat Recovery system, and in summer 2015 with the optimization of the stock preparation lines including a Toscotec TT SAF® concept delivery.
The Cassino plant is located in the Centre of Italy, close to Rome; it is part of WEPA Group – an European leading company in tissue manufacture. The mill is an important and modern facility, which is completely integrated with a tissue machine, converting lines and automatic storage system. Its capacity is more than 60.000 t/year.
The new TT SYD will be the largest steel dryer ever installed in Europe on a tissue machine re-stating the leadership of Toscotec in this tissue machinery line segment.
The project has been assigned to Toscotec considering the good cooperation since several years, Toscotecs high level of professionalism and the excellent project handling during the construction and start-up of two new paper machines in the WEPA plants in Lille/ France and Giershagen/ Germany last year.
