In short, PMT Industries (a subsidiary of PMT Italia S.p.A.) will retrofit at least ten Yankees of varying sizes in CMPC’s tissue mills in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Colombia, Mexico and Brazil with new head insulation in order to optimise the drying and energy efficiency throughout their tissue production organization.

The total cost of the project was not disclosed, but it is expected that payback is in less than a year for each Yankee retrofit.
