Indian order to Metso
Aug 22 2012 India's largest producer of branded photo copier and cut-sized office papers, JK Paper Ltd., has awarded a contract to Metso for supply and start up of Metso Paper Lab for automatic testing of paper properties at its Rayagada paper mill.
According to the Chief Executive (New Projects) at JK Paper, Ashish De, the advanced Paper Lab was chosen above conventional laboratory equipment to meet the challenges posed by the high machine speed, scarcity of trained manpower for routine lab testing and, JK Paper's continuous pursuit of best technologies.Planned startup date for Paper Lab is in October this year, when JK Paper's Rayagada mill completes 50 years in operation.With Metso Paper Lab all quality parameters like tensile, formation, brightness, roughness, porosity, basis weight and caliper will be tested within a matter of few minutes.
