Modern Karton, Turkey, reports that it is getting highly consistent performance from the Voith Paper (Germany) eVenFilm rubber cover on its PM 4 at Corlu, Turkey. "Running our film press with this new rubber roll cover saves us up to EUR 472,800 per year," said Ali Ihsan Aras, technical director of Modern Karton.
The eVenFilm cover for film and size presses is Voith's latest product for the highly challenging applications. Physical characteristics of the new polymer matrix include greater tear resistance, enhanced wear resistance, and reduced hysteresis to provide additional benefits to the application quality and machine runnability.
Modern Karton is part of the Eren Group and is one of the largest board and packaging paper manufacturers in Europe. At the Corlu location, 120 km west of Istanbul, 700,000 metric tpy of packaging paper is produced both for the domestic market and export markets. This represents approximately 50% of the Turkish production capacity. PM 4, which started operation in April 2008, has a width of 8.6 m and produces testliner grades from 100% recovered paper at 1,350 m/min, with an annual production capacity of 400,000 metric tons.
