  • The upgrade, set for Q3 2025, will reduce costs, minimise downtime, and support Cartaseta's sustainability goals.
International technology group ANDRITZ has received an order from Cartaseta AG to supply a combustion system upgrade for a tissue machine at its mill in Gretzenbach, Switzerland. This marks the fifteenth upgrade of its kind carried out by ANDRITZ in the last five years. Start-up is scheduled for the third quarter of 2025.

This technological upgrade includes new hood burners, gas valve trains, and a new burner management system for electronic control of the air/gas ratio, optimizing the combustion process across the entire burner output range of the PM5 tissue machine.

"This advanced combustion system not only improves our tissue machine’s efficiency and reduces emissions but also leads to significant cost savings over time. Enhanced safety and system reliability give us confidence in our operations, allowing us to maintain high production levels," said Roger Koch, Managing Director of Cartaseta. "Overall, this upgrade strengthens our competitiveness, ensuring a more sustainable and profitable future for our business."

With the implementation of this state-of-the-art combustion system, Cartaseta aims to significantly enhance burner performance under all operating conditions. This will improve the energy efficiency of the entire tissue machine, reduce CO2 emissions in compliance with regulations, and maximize the safety and reliability of the equipment. Additionally, the system upgrade, carried out by the experienced ANDRITZ team in collaboration with the customer’s mill operators, will help minimize machine downtime.

Guido Lenzi, Area Sales Manager at ANDRITZ, stated: "We are pleased to begin a new collaboration with Cartaseta. ANDRITZ’s combustion system rebuild is a strategic investment that will improve energy efficiency and help our customer meet its sustainability targets while complying with safety regulations. As with all our projects, we started with a preliminary study to develop a tailor-made solution that maximizes customer benefits. We are committed to continuously innovating our combustion systems to enhance machine efficiency, sustainability, and product quality.”
