Turkuvaz improves diaper production with an ANDRITZ upgrade to the fastening process
International technology group ANDRITZ has completed a service retrofit for the Turkish company Turkuvaz at its Sakarya plant, modernizing the diaper fastening tape system.
This will improve the production process of the converting line and the quality of the diapers.
The modernization of the diaper fastening tape system ensures a strong, reliable bond on the diaper closure and facilitates the converting process. The improvement in raw material tension results in reduced downtime, increased productivity and significant cost savings. Raw material costs are drastically reduced compared to conventional side tape solutions.
Sedat Mala, General Manager of Turkuvaz, said: “ANDRITZ completed this major retrofit in a remarkably short time of just two weeks, demonstrating its ability to deliver fast and impactful solutions.”
Turkuvaz already operates nine converting lines and one spunlace line from ANDRITZ, which underlines the company’s confidence in ANDRITZ as a reliable and innovative partner.
Turkuvaz is a member of the retail company BIM, which owns 11,000 stores across Türkiye.
