Next step to structured tissue

High bulk and absorbency at low energy consumption The receipt to reach the highest bulk and absorbency is normally to avoid pressing and blow hot air through the web. With Valmet’s new tissue making concepts it is possible to achieve premium and ultra-premium quality utilizing pressing in combination with Rush Transfer. This means significantly lower energy consumption compared to other structured tissue processes.

Advantage QRT and
Advantage eTAD technologies

Valmet is proud to present that we now can offer the Advantage eTAD technology developed by Georgia-Pacific as well as our own Advantage QRT technology to customers who are looking for cost efficient ways to enter new market segments with high quality products produced in a sustainable way. The eTAD technology is available for customers outside North America. Both technologies are today running in commercial operation.

Both technologies are utilizing Rush transfer to create increased bulk and thereby absorbency. Pressing increase dryness and improve energy efficiency.
