In 2016 Smurfit Kappa awarded Toscotec with the rebuilding of the Company's Barbosa paper machine’s dryer section. The target operating speed of the machine after startup was set at 1,000 mpm, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
The main target of the project was to improve the efficiency of the PM, by increasing its operating speed and production. The alliance between Toscotec and Smurfit Kappa has lead the packaging company to increase containerboard production to 120,000 tonnes per year which means an increase in the corrugating machines production.
Toscotec is a turnkey projects supplier to the global paper industry.
