With an experienced team now focused on the Turkish market and a portfolio of innovative solutions, Kadant captured visitors' interest, solidifying its position as a leader in the tissue industry.

This year’s exhibition at Tissue World Istanbul provided the perfect platform to showcase Kadant’s cutting-edge technologies for tissue production machines. From doctoring solutions to water recovery systems, the company's product line has sparked conversations, attracted crowds, and demonstrated how innovation can meet the pressing needs of modern tissue production.

Wondering which products stole the show? Let’s dive into the standout solutions that gained the most attention and discover how they can be useful for tissue manufacturing.

"What makes the Conformatic™ AL creping blade holder so unique is its ability to deliver uniform blade pressure across the Yankee cylinder.

“This precision translates into consistent creping results, which is essential for maintaining tissue softness and bulk. Tissue manufacturers love the reliability this holder brings to their operations. Plus, it’s easy to maintain, which means less downtime and lower operational costs.

“It’s all about giving manufacturers more control over their creping process while improving the quality of the final product."

"Keeping the Yankee cylinder clean is absolutely critical for tissue production.

“Our Yankee dryer cleaner ensures that the cylinder surface remains free of buildup and contamination. This not only improves energy efficiency but also maintains consistent drying performance. When the Yankee is clean, tissue quality improves, and the risk of production interruptions is dramatically reduced.

“This tool is all about maximizing uptime and ensuring smooth, efficient operations throughout the process."

"Proper cleaning of machine components is non-negotiable for achieving high-quality tissue production.

"Our stationary and oscillating showers ensure that fabrics, rolls, and other surfaces stay clean and free of debris. This not only extends the life of the machine components but also helps to maintain consistent production quality.

“These systems are incredibly efficient and easy to integrate into existing setups, making them a must-have for tissue manufacturers looking to improve their overall performance."

Özgür Filibeli - Area Sales Manager - Kadant Johnson Europe

“Sustainability is no longer an option; it is an absolute must.”

"Our water resource recovery strainers help tissue manufacturers drastically reduce their water consumption while maintaining high filtration efficiency.

“They allow companies to reuse up to 90% of their water, cutting costs and reducing their environmental footprint.

“This is especially critical in a market where both resource conservation and operational efficiency are top priorities."

Victor Caronni – Marketing Manager - Kadant Johnson Europe

"Our CeraEdge™ ceramic tip creping doctor blades are an absolute game-changer for tissue manufacturers.

“The durability of these blades is unmatched. They last significantly longer than traditional steel blades, reducing downtime for blade changes and improving overall efficiency. One of the most appreciated benefits is the smoother wear edge, which minimizes dusting and linting during production.

“This means cleaner operations and better-quality tissue with less environmental waste. And let’s not forget that they also reduce wear on the Yankee cylinder, extending its lifespan and saving manufacturers significant maintenance costs."

Vincent Charpentier - Business Development Manager - Kadant Lamort

"The AirSet™ B doctor blade holder is all about precision and reliability.

"This holder ensures stable and consistent blade positioning, which improves doctoring performance and reduces maintenance requirements. Tissue producers have told us they love how easy it is to use and how much it increases machine uptime.

“With the AirSet B, we’re giving manufacturers a tool that simplifies their operations and enhances productivity at the same time."
