"We reached a successful startup thanks to good cooperation and efforts by the Metso personnel in a record short time of 13 months from the contract signing. In the light of such a short time, the startup was a big success for all of us. This cooperation will continue and I am convinced we will continue production with a very good paper quality," says Lütfi Aydin, paper mill director at the Hayat Kimya mill.
Metso's supplied a complete tissue production line, including a stock preparation system and an Advantage DCT 200 TS tissue machine. The tissue machine is equipped with an OptiFlo headbox, a Metso yankee cylinder, an Advantage AirCap hood adapted for co-generation, an Advantage WetDust dust system, an Advantage Run sheet transfer system, and an Advantage SoftReel L reel. The stock preparation line contains OptiSlush pulpers, OptiFiner conical refiners, and OptiScreen machine screens.
