Finland’s Metso Paper will supply a tissue making line, including a de-inking plant to SARL Ouate-Industries in Algeria. The value of the order is approximately €36 million.
The new tissue mill will start up in April 2005 and will produce 25,000 tons of facial tissue, napkins, toilet paper, towel and machine-glazed paper annually. It will use recycled fiber as its raw material.
The delivery will consist of a 2.7 meter-wide tissue machine, a de-inking plant, a roll handling system, a rewinder, process machinery, piping, electrification, field instruments, mill engineering, parts of the utility systems and general ventilation.
Furthermore, Metso Automation will supply automation systems for the new plant. Metso Paper will also be responsible for installation supervision and start-up, including training as well as after-start-up service.
SARL Ouate-Industries is a newly established tissue producer, and the first tissue producer in the country. It is a part of the Tonic Emballage Group, which is a major producer of boxboard packaging in Algeria.
Metso Paper is a subsidiary of the Metso Corporation. Its businesses are fiber and paper technology, rock and mineral processing and automation and control technology. — (menareport.com)
