Toscotec | Products - Tissue Machines: AHEAD Line: Toscotec

AHEAD Line

The AHEAD Line is made of Toscotec’s Conventional Wet Press Tissue machines. Every AHEAD tissue machine is custom-made.

The starting point is the flexible configuration of the AHEAD line. According to the customer’s requirements and operating conditions, Toscotec finalizes the machine design in order to achieve the highest possible energy efficiency. The production capacity ranges from 80 to 250 tpd and the design speeds from 1,500 to 2,200 mpm. The AHEAD tissue machine can process virgin and recycled wood and non-wood fibers. Its proven energy savings are the result of the careful study of the tissue line’s drying design, which includes different pressing configurations, Toscotec’s leading edge TT SYD, and customized TT Hood including several stages of energy recovery.

PRODERGY

Productivity meets energy.
Toscotec’s AHEAD PRODERGY tissue machine combines top performance with maximum energy efficiency.

Toscotec’s AHEAD PRODERGY tissue machine combines top performance with maximum energy efficiency.
PRODERGY is fitted with steam-heated hoods and big diameter Steel Yankee Dryer. Its drying section completely relies on steam energy to deliver superior results in production efficiency and tissue quality.

PRODERGY’s design largely benefits from the proven advantages of Toscotec’s Steel Yankee Dryer technology. As global leader of Steel Yankee Dryers, Toscotec produces Yankees with the largest diameter and table width in the world.

AHEAD Line

AHEAD Line

The AHEAD Line is made of Toscotec’s Conventional Wet Press Tissue machines. Every AHEAD tissue machine is custom-made.

Broke Pulper

TT MBP. The Toscotec Broke Pulper TT MBP is designed to be installed under machine both in tissue, paper and board applications.

Rotating Screen

TT RS. The Toscotec Rotating Screen TT RS is used in recycled paper stock preparation plants to de-water the coarse rejects coming from upstream cleaning equipment.

Ragger

TT RG. For the proper performance of a continuous pulper working with recycled paper (Toscotec Low Density Pulper), a cleaning unit such as the ragger TT RG is required to be installed.

Low Density Pulper

TT TM. Optimized to work with heavily contaminated recycled paper or with rewinder trims, the Toscotec Low Density Pulper TT TM is designed to perform an extremely efficient and low energy slushing in continuous mode and to remove rejects without breaking them.

Medium Density Pulper

TT VP. Suitable to work both with virgin pulp, broke, recycled paper and non-wood fibers, the Toscotec Medium Density pulper TT VP is designed to perform an extremely efficient and low energy slushing in discontinuous mode.

Turbo Separator

TT TMC. The Toscotec Turboseparator TT TMC is installed in recycled paper stock preparation lines as primary screen to treat the accept stream of the Toscotec Low Density Pulper.

Vortiscreen 3 Series

TT VS-3. The Toscotec Vortiscreen TT VS-3 can be installed as the only coarse screen in converting broke lines or as the last tail screening stage for the treatment of the rejects coming from drilled Toscotec Superscreens in recycled paper processing lines.

Vortiscreen 1 Series

TT VS-1. The Toscotec Vortiscreen TT VS-1 is used in recycled paper stock preparation plants mainly for the detrashing of the continuous TM Pulpers and as a dumping machine of high consistency batch pulpers.

Superscreen

TT SS. The Toscotec Superscreen TT SS is a horizontal screen with basket and rotor designed to be installed as a coarse or fine screen in recycled paper stock preparation plants. It is optimal to treat stock up to a working consistency of 5%.

High Density Cleaner

TT HDC. Engineered to work both with virgin pulp and recycled paper, the Toscotec High Density Cleaner TT HDC is designed to reliably remove heavier than fiber contaminants, suspended in consistencies up to 6%, directly after the pulper.

Thickening Screw

TT CA. The Toscotec Thickening Screw TT CA is an inclined screw thickener; it can be configured as a Single Unit or as Combined Units (up to 3 Units on a single stand and with only one feeding headbox) for higher capacity and reduced footprint.

Wire Washer

TT CW. The Toscotec Wire Washer TT CW is used to obtain an efficient removal of ashes, inks, glues, and fines by means of low consistency stock washing and consequent thickening.

Short Approach Flow System

TT SAF. Toscotec Short Approach Flow TT SAF, patented by Toscotec since 2012, allows every mill, new or existing one, to reduce energy consumptions and installation space, without compromises in terms of performances.

Vibrating Screen

TT V. The Toscotec Vibrating Screen TT V can be used as final stage for rejects de-watering after other screens such as vortiscreens, superscreens and pressure screens.

Pressure Screen

TT AFS. The Toscotec Pressure Screen TT AFS is designed to be installed in the approach flow system as final protection of the headbox.
