Is a 1997 Beloit TNT-REEL, that is in great condition, a viable item for dismantle and re-use? NIAGARA Development has a butte, and says it is!

leave a comment »

Individuals that installed the BELOIT TNT Reel have told me that I have quite a unit.  While they would buy the unit, set it up in their shop for view and ultimately re-install the item in a users facility, the interim step would raise the price.  A direct buyer would have a great asset and would be able to directly install this unit without delay.

We have the BELOIT TNT-Reel and a like VALMET OPTI-Reel.

EQUIPMENT TYPE:    BELOIT TNT Reel

Specific Name – Beloit TNT (Tension, Nip, Torque) Reel
Purpose – Wind a superiorly uniform jumbo roll of LWC paper from start to finish

OPERATING DATA:    
Sheet Width – 224 Inches
Spool Width – 243.5 Inches
Spool Diameter – 27.75 Inches
Reel Drum Diameter – 48 Inches

NIAGARA Development also has a VALMET OPTI-Reel that was installed in 1994.  Another fantastically complete unit that could go right to work.  Our NIAGARA Worldwide LLC team could dismantle the unit and load it into containers or onto trucks with limited cost to the buyer.

EQUIPMENT TYPE:    VALMET OPTIREEL
Specific Name – Valmet OPTIREEL paper machine reel
Purpose – Wind an optimally uniform jumbo roll of LWC paper throughout the winding process
Dimensions – 153” Maximum sheet width

PGW Pressurized Ground Wood System

with one comment

The recent purchase of a complete WOOD ROOM and PGW “Pressurized Ground Wood” System has presented an abundance of available equipment.

System Picture

PGW Fiber Department

Pressurized groundwood (PGW) fiber is the primary source of fiber used for producing coated groundwood paper.

Woodyard and Woodroom

Woodroom Equipment

Wood Room Equipment

Local aspen wood was formerly delivered by truck to an on-site 7 area Woodyard that has the capacity to hold 20,000 cords of wood.  The wood was then processed in the Woodroom (building 113) where it was debarked and cut into 4 foot lengths at a rate of 19 cords per hour.  A delivery system processed and fed the resulting bark and wood waste to the boilerhouse where it was burned as fuel.

PGW Pulpmill

The shortened and debarked lengths of aspen from the Woodroom were conveyed to the pulpmill 100 cord capacity storage bin for storage (building 101).  The wood was then fed to the main Pulmill’s (building 100) four 7000 hp pressurized grinders where it’s ground to pulp at a rate of 280 tons per day (70 tpd per grinder).  Next, the pulp was thickened and pumped to the screening and bleaching area located near the paper machines

PGW Screenroom and Bleach Plant

Final PGW fiber processing was accomplished in the Screenroom (building 95) and Bleach Plant (building 15), both were located in the main mill area near the paper machines.  Here the pulp was screened through numerous very fine slotted screens where only the proper size fibers were accepted for making paper.  The rejected fibers were thickened and refined down to a more acceptable size before being screened again.  The final low brightness screened pulp was then pumped to the bleach plant where it was bleached using a two stage alkaline peroxide bleaching process that both brightened and improved the pulps’ strength properties.
