The Technology Of Making Tissues

How much technology is required to make modern toilet and facial tissues? Quite a bit. Uniformity is important so that customers are as happy with their hundredth box of Brand X tissues as they were with their first. That uniformity must exist across sizes as well. The performance of a facial tissue must be the same whether it comes from a purse pack, the big box at the office or the designer cube that looks just right in the den.

Voith Paper has two divisions dedicated to the production of paper, including tissues. Together, they produce a full range of machines and equipment for paper-manufacturing plants, as well as forming, press and dryer fabrics for the world's pulp and paper industries.

All told, more than a third of the world's paper is produced on machines made by Voith Paper. The expertise gained by this success is brought to the tissues industry. Most notably, the company's One Platform Concept has been applied to make tissue production reliable and cost-effective while maintaining product quality standards.

The tissue business mostly is like any other paper business. Quality of the product is crucial to buyer acceptance, but cost control is a huge factor for the manufacturer. Consumers expect their tissues to be soft and strong, but are not willing to pay premium prices for that performance. One Platform Concept enables mills to meet these very demanding expectations.
