GAW will deliver the chemical preparation system for the new tissue machine PM5 - supplied by Voith - at the SCA Mainz-Kostheim plant. The scope of delivery will include the storage units as well as the mixing and dosing stations for the coating chemicals.
Kostheim - close to Mainz / Germany - is one of many facilities of SCA, a global hygiene and paper company with 45,000 employees.
GAW will deliver the processing plants and the feeding system of the coating chemicals to the Yankee cylinder. The Yankee is an independent, multi-functional part, which works as a big drying cylinder as well as a backing roll to the press roll. It is the most central, sophisticated and expensive part of each tissue machine.
The PM5 is of double width (wire width: 5,500 mm) and will produce some 60,000 metric tons per year of high-quality tissue paper at a basis weight of 20.5 g/m² on average. The start-up is scheduled for spring 2013.
