First Metso Advantage NTT tissue line to be started up at Fabrica in Mexico
It will be the world’s first tissue line based on the Advantage NTT
concept, which enables high bulk and softness properties at the same
time as it provides energy savings compared to conventional or
structured tissue grades.“We have a very long and fruitful relation with Fabrica De Papel San Francisco and we are of course very excited to supply the first Advantage NTT technology and support their ambition to supply high-quality products produced with less energy and fiber. Fabrica De Papel San Francisco has a very strong and knowledgeable team,” says Jan Erikson, Vice President, Sales, Metso.
The project is proceeding according to plan and the new tissue production line will start up in Mexicali, Mexico, in the end of the second quarter of 2013.
Metso’s scope of supply comprises a complete 2.6-m-wide Advantage NTT tissue machine equipped with an OptiFlo II TIS headbox, a Metso Yankee
cylinder, an Advantage AirCap yankee hood, sheet control, tail threading equipment, an Advantage WetDust dust management system and an Advantage SoftReel reel.
