  • Description: To produce high quality tissue, whether facial, towel or bathroom, many producers felt it necessary to move to the through air drying process. However, the relatively high energy demands of the process and the large capital investment required meant that only the largest producers with the deepest pockets could afford this type of capital investment. Looking for an alternative, the staff at Voith's Tissue Process Technology Center in Sao Paulo Brazil, in close cooperation with the Voith Paper Fabrics team started work on a new technology in 2004. Since, Voith has more than doubled its number of tissue experts worldwide to serve the various markets. Rogerio Berardi, Voith's responsible for Technology Marketing, Tissue, says the objective of the development into what became the Voith's Advanced Tissue Molding System (ATMOS) technology was based on increasing quality and flexibility for its customers while, at the same time, reducing variable production costs, i.e. energy and fiber.
