Recard installs production lines in Bangladesh and Mexico


I


talian paper machine manufacturer Recard commissioned two new production lines


in Bangladesh and Mexico between the end of May and the beginning of June. An Easy Crescent line was


started up at the Meghna Group of Industries in Bangladesh where the PM1 machine, featuring a width of 2,850mm, a speed of up to 1,200 metres per minute and a capacity of 50 tons per day, produced its first reel of high- quality paper. The installation followed the


delivery of Recard’s project in Bangladesh, where a paper making line was installed at Bashundhara Paper Mills in 2010. In Mexico, Recard installed a tissue making machine in a turnkey project at Convertipap.


The TM5 also has a width of 2,850mm but with a higher speed of 1,500 metres per


minute offers a 24/7 capacity of 90 tons per day. Recard, based in Lucca,


has since 1992 installed four machines in Mexico and a total of 18 throughout Latin America. Paper making machines from


Recard are distinguished by the use of its Crescent former, which was invented by the Kimberly Clark in the 1970s who held the patent until the 1990s.


On its website, Recard


says: “With Easy Crescent we present a new way of thinking about installing a plant which can produce 95 tons per day. Easy Crescent is a simple, modern and cheap, natural development obtained thanks to the experience of manufacturing and installations of over 125 tissue line installations in five continents.”
