WHY & HOW

T FLUTE?
Specialists in the design of flute profiles
 Tailored profiles thanks to a program of finite
elements.

 Customer´s working conditions are analysed

and studied to seek a better flute profile.

 Simulations in FCT (flat crush test), ECT

(edge crush test) and BCT (board crush test)
to optimise performance and runnability.
 REAL CASE B FLUTE
 CUSTOMER’S PROFILE:
 PITCH: 6.45 (155fpm)

 DEPTH: 2.70
SAVING
 TEK UP = 1,386 PAPER
 TIRUNA’S PROFILE: 5,08 %
 PITCH: 6.25
(160fpm)
 DEPTH: 2.45
 TEK UP = 1,319

NEW T FLUTE
 DESCRIPTION
 NEW FLUTE PROFILE DESIGNED,
DEVELOPED AND PROMOTED BY TIRUÑA
 FIT PERFECTLY WITH THE TREND TO
LIGHTER BASIS WEIGHTS AND
SUSTAINABILITY
 ITS TARGET IS TO REPLACE MOST OF THE
B FLUTE WORK
 GEOMETRY BETWEEN B AND E FLUTE
B FLUTE

E FLUTE
 ADVANTAGES FLUTE T vs B

 SAVINGS OF 5.9% IN PAPER

 MORE THAN 25% IMPROVEMENT ON FCT
VALUES.
 MORE THAN 10% IMPROVEMENT ON ECT
VALUES WITH LIGHT BASIS WEIGHTS.
 POSSIBILITY OF RUNNING LIGHTER
FLUTING PAPERS
 ADVANTAGES FLUTE T vs B

 SIMILAR PERFORMANCE IN SINGLE FACER

 LESS RESONANCE VALUES IN SINGLE FACER

 MUCH BETTER PRINTING QUALITY

 16% COST SAVINGS IN LOGISTICS AND

STORAGE
