Torraspapel installs new generation slitter rewinder at its self-adhesives mill in Almazan, Spain

BARCELONA, June 9, 2009 (Press Release) - Torraspapel has started up a new Atlas Universal LS 2-meter slitter rewinder at its Almazan (Spain) mill to benefit its entire range of ADESTOR self-adhesive materials.

This new-generation slitter rewinder, exclusively for the self-adhesive industry, has been uniquely designed to further improve the rewinding of Torraspapel's self-adhesive products, in particular the filmic range. This is achieved through precise control of rewind reel tension.

The Universal LS is a 2-meter wide machine equipped to handle jumbo rolls with a diameter of up to 1.6 meters and up to 5,000 kgs in weight. With running speeds of up to 750 m/min, it can slit and rewind materials from 30 to 350 microns.

With this substantial investment to increase rewinding capacity, Torraspapel, part of the Lecta Group, reinforces its self-adhesive division and further demonstrates its commitment to improving quality and customer service.

All Adestor products are manufactured to ISO 9001 quality standards and ISO 14001 and EMAS environmental management standards. Furthermore, the entire product range is available with PEFC and FSC Chain of Custody forest certifications.
