Parteks to Install New Toscotec Tissue Line at Mill in Turkey

Parteks Paper Co., Turkey, has ordered from Toscotec, Lucca, Italy, a new tissue line to be installed at its mill in Kayseri, capital of the same district in the Central Anatolian region. The line will be started up in the first half of 2014.

The delivery, based on an intensive energy-saving concept, includes the approach flow featuring Toscotec technology TT SAF®, broke line, a MODULO-PLUS tissue machine with single-layer headbox, single press configuration, and a Toscotec steel yankee dryer TT SYD-12FT. The supply will also include an electrification and controls package, tissue machine auxiliaries such as a natural gas heated hood, and the steam and condensate system provided by Toscotec associate Milltech. A two-unwind-stand Toscotec rewinder TT WIND-P will complete the package.

With a width of 2,85 meters and a design speed of 1,600 m/min, the new production line will produce 75 metric tpd of high-quality facial, toilet, and towel grades, despite the fact that the mill is located 1,050 meters above sea level. The new Toscotec project will be focused on reduced energy consumption, use of selected raw materials in the manufacturing process, recovery and re-use of process water, low emissions (noise and pollutants), and green energy adoption with the steel yankee dryer technology.

Parteks is a fully integrated producer of tissue paper for at-home and away-from-home markets, corrugated containerboard, and fluting papers. The existing mill that houses the TM 1 tissue machine (started up in 2007) and the PM 1 fluting machine and corrugating line covers an area of 100,000 square meters. The mill’s converting facility for tissue is nearby.
 

Parteks’ tissue paper is produced with recycled paper and virgin pulp. Panda and Senta are tissue brands produced by Parteks.
