Comment Print
Marlia, Lucca, Italy 08 November 2018 -- Following a major rebuild of the dryer section supplied by Toscotec with the installation of TT SteelDryers, Cascades Packaging fired up its PM1 at Kingsey Falls mill, Canada. The machine was started up on schedule on September 23rd, with the support of Toscotec's service engineers, who also provided the commissioning and the erection supervision onsite.

Toscotec implemented an efficient rebuild aimed to achieve the highest production increase with the lowest possible impact on the existing machine. Toscotec customized its engineering design in order to efficiently integrate its new dryer section into the existing equipment. The project was completed in record time and maintaining the overall length of the dryer section and the width of the dryers' frame.

Mathieu Gendron, Mill Manager of Cascades Kingsey Falls, says, "Toscotec delivered the project according to the tight schedule we agreed upon. After start-up, we are seeing a promising increase in the production and we are confident that it will match the project targets".

Fabrizio Charrier, Toscotec's P&B Area Sales Manager, comments, "we are happy to see that the first results after start-up indicate that we will achieve the project's target of 8% production increase. This is a very significant result, especially if you consider that the scope of the rebuilding was reduced to a minimum, in order to limit shutdown and construction costs".
