Metso to supply complete tissue machine for Mexican company

Metso will supply a complete tissue machine for Fabrica De Papel San Francisco S.A. de C.V., in Mexicali, Mexico. The tissue production line will start up in the second quarter of 2013. The value of the order will not be disclosed. This kind of production line is typically valued at EUR 10-15 million depending on capacity and scope of delivery, according to Birkner.
Metso’s scope of delivery will comprise a complete tissue machine equipped with a headbox, a Yankee cylinder, a yankee hood, sheet control, tail threading equipment, a dust management system and a reel.
The delivery is a repeat order from Fabrica De Papel San Francisco. They now successfully operate two Metso tissue machines at their Mexicali facility, one started up in 2006 and the other in 2009.
The new tissue line will use 100 % recycled fiber as raw material.
