Apr 29, 2008. /Lesprom.com/. Turkish company Modern Karton has started up its new machine for recycled corrugated case material. The PM 4 was supplied by Metso Paper to the Corlu mill situated around 120 km west of Istanbul. The new production line has an annual capacity of 400 thousand tonnes of testliner and corrugating medium in the basis weight range of 70 – 120 g/m2, using 100% recycled raw material. The wire width of the board machine is 8.6 m and the design speed 1,800 m/min. The successful start-up was an evidence of the good co-operation between the project teams of Modern Karton and Metso. “The implementation of a project of this magnitude brings out the best sides of both parties – only working together yields results,” concludes Mr Ali Ihsan Aras, Technical Co-ordinator of the Eren Group. “We rely on good co-operation with Metso also in the future.” Modern Karton Sanayi Ticaret AS is a privately owned enterprise and the biggest containerboard manufacturer in Turkey with 512 employees. The company invested in the new production line to strengthen its leading position and to meet the fast-growing domestic need for lightweight containerboard. Metso is a global engineering and technology corporation with 2007 net sales of over Euro 6 billion.
