(News from RISI) Argentinean pulp and paper producer Celulosa Argentina started up its new 30,000tpy tissue paper machine (PM) on 25 April at its Capitán Bermúdez mill, located in Santa Fe province.

The Voith-supplied tissue line has a wire width of 2,760mm and runs at 1,800m/min, producing 15-21g/m² basis weight toilet tissue and kitchen roll from virgin fibre.

The estimated Euro 18 million ($25 million) investment will allow the company to diversify its current portfolio of papers.
