A Metso-supplied Advantage DCT 200 TS tissue production line successfully came on stream on January 24, 2012 at Lila Kagit’s mill in Corlu, about 100 km west of Istanbul in Turkey. This is the second production line supplied by Metso for this company.
The Lila Kagit TM 2 started up smoothly and produced a good-quality saleable product from the very beginning.
Metso’s delivery covered a complete tissue making line. Besides the Advantage DCT 200 TS tissue machine, it included, among other things, stock preparation equipment, process ventilation, controls, electrical equipment, basic engineering services, erection, start-up and training services.
Metso’s modularized Advantage DCT standard concepts for tissue machines repeatedly prove their success through record-breaking fast start-up processes and immediate highest-quality production.
The new line using virgin fiber adds another 195 tonnes per day of tissue paper for facial, toilet, napkin and towel products to Lila Kagit’s production capacity. This makes Lila Kagit one of the largest tissue manufacturers in Turkey.
