Voith To Supply New PM In Turkey

Voith to supply new PM to Modern Karton
The Turkish paper manufacturer Modern Karton has commissioned Voith to supply its new PM 5 for light-weight packaging paper for its plant in Corlu, Turkey. The PM 5 will be a particularly sustainable machine, especially as it consumes little fresh water. Using the technology supplied by Voith ensures that consumption of resources is kept as low as possible. The PM 5 is expected to start-up by the middle of 2015 at a speed of 1,500 m/min. It will have a wire width of 8,180 mm and produce around 400,000 metric tons of packaging paper with a basis weight of 70 to 160 g/m².
