Enable efficient production of various tissue grades on one machine
Hybrid tissue technology
Hybrid tissue technology is an innovative approach that can offer tissue producers a wider range of desired product properties such as enhanced caliper, stretch, softness, strength and water absorbency. It combines the best features of conventional and through air drying technologies. With increased capacity, and improved energy efficiency it is setting new standards in tissue paper production.
Valmet’s hybrid concepts
When looking for maximum flexibility the hybrid concepts can be your choice. With the capability to produce plain, textured and structured tissue with premium quality at low energy and fiber consumption, Valmet’s Advantage technologies meet the increasing market demands of products with high absorption, bulk and softness compared to conventional dry crepe machines and at the same time as it provides a sustainable process with low water and low energy consumption compared to through-air drying machines.
Meeting market demands
The hybrid technology can utilize a combination of different raw materials, which may include virgin wood pulp, recycled paper, or alternative fibers such as bamboo, wheat straw, or bagasse. Because of this the hybrid tissue manufacturing offers the potential for greater environmental sustainability and product innovation. It might also appeal to consumers looking for eco-friendly or innovative alternatives to traditional tissue products, offering a balance between performance, sustainability, and versatility.

You can reduce the amount of fiber for the same volume because increasing your roll bulk equates to fiber savings. Higher roll bulk is achieved by creating higher sheet caliper for the same or lower basis weight and as roll bulk increases the amount of fibers decreases. The product strategy optimizes product specifications and operating costs. The options for product quality can be combined whether it is reducing length or lowering the basis weight.
