Toscotec will supply an AHEAD 2.2L tissue line on a turnkey basis to Intertrade Hellas at its Oyinofita mill, near Athens in Greece. The start-up is planned for 2026.
The new AHEAD 2.2L machine features a net sheet width of 5,600 mm, a maximum operating speed of 2,200 m/min, and a production capacity of over 80,000 tons/year. It is equipped with a fully hydraulic TT Headbox-MLT, TT NextPress shoe press technology, a third-generation design TT SYD integrated with the cogeneration system, and TT BulkyReel for optimal preservation of bulk and softness.
Designed to maximise the energy efficiency of the entire production line, Toscotec’s tailor-made Energy Package is composed of TT TurboDryer, which uses the air system-recovered heat to lower water viscosity, enhance the shoe press’s de-watering action, and significantly increase post-press dryness.
The turnkey supply comprises the complete stock preparation system, Toscotec’s patented TT SAF DD (Short Approach Flow system with Double Dilution) to reduce electrical consumption, the entire line’s electrification and controls including TT Brain DCS of upgraded design, wet-dust and mist removal systems, an air compressor station, roll handling and wrapping systems, and hall ventilation with conditioning system. The scope also includes one OPTIMA 2600 slitter rewinder fitted with automatic shaft puller and dedicated dust removal system. Intertrade Hellas also purchased a comprehensive service package with detailed engineering design, erection, training, commissioning, and start-up assistance.
Established in 1992, Intertrade Hellas is a leading tissue producer in Greece. It operates three facilities in Acharnes, Metamorfosi, and Oinofyta.
