ST Tissue Producing 310-in  Semi-Creped Parent Reels on Reconfigured UFS Machine in Virginia, Tissue360º Fall/Winter 2013

In February of this year, ST Tissue started up one of the wid-est, if not the widest, and most cost-effective tissue machines in the Western Hemisphere (possibly the world) at Franklin, Va., USA. PM 6, which formerly produced uncoated free sheet (UFS) at International Paper’s idled fine paper mill in Franklin, was converted by ST Tissue to tissue parent roll production for away-from-home (AFH) markets. It is capable of producing up to 310-in.-wide reels of semi-crepe tissue for customer conversion to napkins and towels in both white (bleached) and brown (kraft) grades. Some bath tissue also has been produced on PM 6, but typically it produces towel and napkin grades.
