According to Metso, Mexican tissue producer Fabrica De Papel San Francisco is preparing to start up its third Metso-supplied tissue production line.
It will be the world’s first tissue line based on Metso’s 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.
"After operating two Metso Advantage DCT tissue machines with good experience, we are now prepared to take the next step for quality to produce tissue products with higher bulk and softness, aiming towards the top end products. The Advantage NTT concept will also bring us a higher production capacity compared to the dry crepe tissue concept,” said Dario Palma y Meza Espinoza, Director of Operations, Fabrica De Papel San Francisco.
The new tissue production line is scheduled to start up in Mexicali, Mexico, in the end of the second quarter of 2013.
The new tissue line will add another 30,000 tonnes per year of bathroom tissue, napkin and towel grades to Fabrica De Papel San Francisco’s existing production.
