Valmet-supplied Advantage DCT tissue line started up by the hour at ICT in Kostrzyn, Poland, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
As if in a perfectly rehearsed screenplay, exactly at 1 pm on December 16, 2015, the Advantage DCT 200HS machine started to produce its first tissue paper destined to the European market, exactly according to the original plan.
Valmet's scope of delivery included a complete tissue production line featuring a stock preparation system and an Advantage DCT 200HS tissue machine with the latest technology for highest quality consumer tissue. The production line is optimized to save energy and enhance final product quality.
Complete engineering, training, start-up and commissioning are also included in the delivery as well as an extensive automation package.
The new line will add 70,000 tons a year of high-quality toilet and towel grades for the European market. The raw material for the new line will be 100 % virgin fiber.
ICT, established in 1957, entered the tissue business in 1978. Today the company operates ten tissue lines in four European countries; five machines in Italy, one in Spain, three in Poland and one in France.
