The Metso-supplied Advantage DCT 60 tissue machine to the Fook Woo Group of Hong Kong and China came successfully on stream in Huizhou, Guangdong province, China, as planned on May 25, 2009. The machine is the first of two Advantage DCT 60 machines to be supplied by Metso to the Fook Woo Group.
Metso’s scope of delivery comprises two complete Advantage DCT 60 tissue machines including OptiFlo II TIS headbox, Metso Yankee cylinder, Advantage AirCap hood, ValReel reel, mechanical drives, controls and basic mill engineering. Metso has also provided supervision and training for the operations.
The 2.85-meter-wide Advantage DCT 60 tissue machines have a design speed of 1,300 m/min.
