Century starts
up Metso tissue line
The Metso-supplied Advantage DCT 100HS tissue line delivered
to Century Pulp and Paper in Lalkua, Nainital, Uttarkhand, India,
came on stream successfully on 22 December 2008. The smooth start-up
of the 2.8-m-wide tissue machine took place as planned, according
to a press release from Metso.
The new line will produce 120 tons/day of high-quality facial,
bathroom tissue and towel grades and will thereby be the largest
single tissue production line in India.
Metso's scope of delivery comprised a complete tissue machine
equipped with an OptiFlo headbox, 16-foot Metso yankee cylinder
and an Advantage AirCap Yankee hood. Metso also delivered the
stock preparation equipment including OptiFiner conical refiner
and deflaking technology, OptiSlush pulping equipment and OptiScreen
cleaning and screening technology. The delivery included basic
and detail engineering for the new tissue mill as well as services
for installation and start-up of the machine.
Century Pulp and Paper, a division of Century Textile and Industries
Ltd, is a manufacturer of rayon grade pulp and high-quality printing
and writing papers. In addition to the new tissue capacity, the
company produces 32,000 tons/yr of pulp and 198,000 tons/yr of
printing and writing paper.
