KMK Paper starts up PM1 after major rebuild by Toscotec

Turkish cardboard manufacturer KMK Paper successfully resumed production on PM1 following an extensive rebuild supplied by Toscotec at its Kahramanmaraş facility in Turkey. PM1 produces packaging paper grades, including fluting, testliner, kraft paper, and gypsum board.

Targets achieved across the full technological upgrade
The rebuild has achieved the primary targets of production increase and paper quality improvement. The project involved the modification of the entire paper machine from the forming section to the reel through the installation of Toscotec and Voith’s technology. The supply of a NipcoFlex shoe press featuring a nip load of 1600 kN/m has already achieved higher dryness and paper quality, and a DuoShake unit in the wet section is ensuring better formation. After the size press, a CB-Turn unit provides effective sheet stabilization through an air cushion and avoids roll contamination. In the dryer section, Toscotec has improved sheet stabilization in the first unirun section; the installation of TT SteelDryers has improved the total drying capacity, and the DuoCleaner units are guaranteeing effective cleaning of the dryer fabrics. Finally, a complete tail threading system has increased machine efficiency.
