REWINDER DUST CONTROL
Tissue rewinders need modern dust control

and safe tissue production
The manufacturing and converting of tissue products create dust and mist.
ANDRITZ Novimpianti offers a range of technologies for controlling
and collecting dust and mist created on the machine, at the rewinder,
and on the converting line.
Controlling air-borne dust and eliminating its build-up
on machinery or the building structure are critical
for fire suppression, workplace safety, worker health,
machinery efficiency, and the quality of the finished
product.
INNOVATIVE DUST REMOVAL TECHNOLOGIES FOR
SAFETY AND IMPROVED PRODUCT QUALITY
ANDRITZ Novimpianti, a global innovator in air and
energy technologies, designs and supplies technolo-
gies to capture dust at the point of its creation,
contain it, and remove it before it becomes a problem.
These PrimeDustEXT solutions are available for new or
existing machines and rewinders. All dust control
systems are engineered to meet requirements of each
application, including environmental and operator-
exposure regulations, with the lowest energy
consumption and most flexibility.
PrimeDustEXT
TISSUE MACHINE DUST CONTROL
On a tissue machine, typically the most dust is created
in the area between the creping doctor blade and the
pope reel – anything touching the sheet after it exits
the Yankee. Accumulation of dust can lead to potential
problems such as fires in the hot areas of the machine,
lower machine efficiency due to frequent stops for
cleaning, and unhealthy conditions for operators due
to air-borne contaminants.
ANDRITZ Novimpianti’s solutions include technologies
for both dry and wet cleaning. The five-box
PrimeDustEXT system for machine dust control does
not interfere with the sheet or impede access to the
machine. The design of the boxes prevents plugging
and ensures constant suction for efficient dust
removal.
technology to avoid product quality issues caused
by high dust content in the final roll layers, worker
safety issues caused by uncontrolled airborne dust,
and machine efficiency issues caused by frequent
stops to clean the rewinder and auxiliary equipment.
ANDRITZ Novimpianti supplies a six-box PrimeDustEXT R
system for rewinder dust control that captures dust
near the source to reduce airborne contaminants and
improve the working conditions around the winder.
The result is improved operator safety, less dust
accumulation on the equipment, and improved
quality of the jumbo rolls. A centralized system with
tissue machine can be provided.
PrimeMistEXT
TISSUE FORMER MIST CONTROL
The creation of mist at the wet end of the tissue
machine can lead to several issues: corrosion of buil-
ding structures or machine structure, mixing with dust
or other contaminants that can impact paper forma-
tion, and accumulation of contaminants in the forming
fabric for example.
There can also be a loss of machine efficiency created
by frequent stops to clean the machine surfaces. The
PrimeMistEXT system for mist removal at the wet end
reduces contact between humidity and dust to extend
the life of equipment and improve worker safety.
PrimeDustControl C
TISSUE CONVERTING LINE DUST CONTROL
The unwinding, slitting, cutting, embossing, and prin-
ting of tissue products during the converting opera-
tion releases dust particles into the air which not only
create an airborne irritant for workers, but also accu-
mulate on the converting equipment and the building
floor. Efficiencies can suffer due to frequent stops for
cleaning. Equipment maintenance becomes more dif-
ficult. Worker health and safety can also be compro-
mized. The indirect result is a better machine efficiency
due to reduced time for cleaning that results in a
higher production. ANDRITZ Novimpianti has
developed a system for converting line dust control –
the PrimeDustControl C. This four-box system uses
vacuum to minimize or eliminate dust problems in the
converting area by collecting dust before it has the
opportunity to get airborne. A system can be provided
for several converting lines.
