Europap Tezol’s New Vacuum System: Peace of Mind and Major Savings, Tissue360º Spring/Summer 2024

When Turkish tissue producer Europap Tezol became weary of constant maintenance of the vacuum system on its TM2, it replaced the existing heavy system with a new, reliable turbo blower technology from Runtech Systems. Now it not only saves energy and water, but also brings more reliability and peace of mind to the mill.

Europap Tezol operates on two sites, İzmir-Torbalı and Mersin-Tarsus in Turkey. TM1 and TM2 are located at the İzmir site, and TM3 line in Mersin. The total capacity of the three lines is 93,000 metric tpy. Both mills are integrated with their own convert-ing departments. The new tissue machine, TM4, which has recently started up, is located in Mersin. The company produces different tissue grades such as towel, toilet, and napkin for both domestic and export markets based on recycled fiber and kraft with grammages ranging from 14 to 40 gsm. About 50 percent of Tezol’s production is exported. The Turkish market has a preference for products based on 100 percent virgin pulp.
