In 2011 we successfully finished the guarantee tests in the paper mill Akasan Adana Kagit Sanayi in Turkey. The given contract was signed with the customer in 2010 as a result of intensive cooperation of the PAPCEL’s staff and representatives of our trade representation in Turkey, the firm OMP Group. The contractual reconstruction of the paper machine respected the customer’s requirements on production of flutings and liners with substance of 80 – 180 g/m2 and PM capacity up to 150 tpd at max. operating speed of 350 m/min. This reconstruction was oriented also on completion of the PM wire part with a new driving wire roll, completion of the PM press part, completion and modification of the PM predrying and final drying part, delivery of a new size press incl. a working station for starch preparation and a unit for the size press, completion of the PM drive, vacuum and control systems and deliveries of spare parts, namely the PM rolls. The company PAPCEL was a general supplier of machinery. In addition to that, it provided also complete engineering services, i.e. primary engineering, on-site chief assembly, commissioning and guarantee tests. The PM parameters after reconstruction: production of flutings and liners with substance of 80 – 180 g/m2, capacity up to 150 tpd at rated working speed, headbox width of 3 000 mm and width on reel of 2 850 mm.
The guarantee tests, done in November 2011, showed the PM ability to produce paper in substances and at speeds as per the given contract, i.e.
For substances of 120/112 g/m2 and 140 g/m2 the PM showed its ability to produce also sized and unsized assortment. This paper machine reached not only the required dry matter values behind the press part of 46-48 %, but even up to 50 %. The tests showed also the last guaranteed parameter reached which was a layer of 2 g/m² on both paper web sides.
This project was financed through a credit by the UniCredit Bank Czech Republic, a.s., where its total financial volume reached 2,922 mio. EUR.
