Thai Tiger: BJC Cellox aiming to be No. 1 in tissue - Paper Technology International 2023
Higher quality, less energy costs
The tissue line from ANDRITZ is now running at 1,700 m/
min producing high-quality tissue at markedly reduced energy
consumption. This is due to ANDRITZ’s focus on the ever-growing
importance of energy savings in tissue production, but it’s also
down to one of the key components supplied to the tissue line at
BJC Cellox; the PrimePress XT Evo shoe press. When used in
combination with the steel Yankee, the shoe press dewaters the
paper web very gently, but very thoroughly. By doing so it achieves
a higher dry content than conventional presses. Due to the special
design of the press, and the reduced need for thermal drying, as
much as 20% of energy can be saved under optimal operating
conditions. In addition, the StrataPress T press felt ensures peak
performance in the press section at high machine speeds.
Mr. Chusak Soysungvam, Mill Director, BJC Cellox, says,
“We are very pleased with the speed of the machine and the quality
of the tissue coming off the new line, the increased bulk of the
tissue means we can possibly even enter new markets. But what
we are really impressed with is the amount of energy we are now
saving due to the shoe press using so much less LPG. The shoe
press removes a large amount of moisture before the Yankee
cylinder meaning we save a lot of money in the drying process.”
With the introduction of the new line from ANDRITZ, BJC Cellox is
now well on its way to achieving its ambition to be No.1 in tissue
in Thailand. Laocharoensuk says, “We have an ambition to be the
market leader in Thailand, which will happen very soon, as well as
having our expansion plans into other markets.

We clearly made the right decision to select ANDRITZ for
our PM 5 project. We received really professional and outstanding
service and support covering all areas from commercial evaluation,
technical clarification, machine installation and start-up, as well as
ongoing support.”

enabled a straightforward commissioning-to-start-up phase and,
in addition, ensures constant optimization of production
processes, operator troubleshooting and decision support.
