APIS has ordered a HERGEN EVO 16 tissue machine to expand its production capacity. The new machine will be installed at the company’s facilities in Chodecz, Poland, and is designed for higher-basis-weight tissue grades such as toilet paper and towels made from recycled fiber.
The MP2, model EVO 16, is designed to run at 1,900 m/min with a 2,800 mm sheet width and will boost APIS’s production from 40 tons per day to a gross output of 82 tons of tissue per day, starting at 16 g/m².
The project includes two presses equipped with a hydraulic loading system, ensuring efficient water removal, stable operation, improved paper quality, and lower energy consumption.
Aligned with HERGEN’s ECOPerformance program, the new machine combines productivity, efficiency, and sustainability. Its focus on recycled pulp and recovered paper reduces environmental impact and optimizes resource utilization, delivering more paper with lower consumption.
This investment reinforces HERGEN’s commitment to high-performance technologies that integrate social and environmental responsibility, supporting APIS’s growth and competitiveness in the tissue market.
