GRAZ - International technology group Andritz has completed a service retrofit for the Turkish company Turkuvaz at its Sakarya plant, integrating diversion channel technology into its baby diaper lines.
This upgrade enables Turkuvaz to produce higher quality diapers with enhanced core absorption and maximum comfort for babies.
In addition to improved wearability and a better fit for babies, the incorporation of channel technology is designed to ensure superior performance in terms of rewet and acquisition time. It also enables more even distribution throughout the core, reducing the so-called sagging effect. Furthermore, raw material costs are lowered compared to conventional diaper cores.
Sedat Mala, general manager of Turkuvaz, commented: “This project was crucial for the diversification of our product offering, and having a responsive and customised solutions provider was essential for our business.
“We are confident that this collaboration will significantly strengthen our market position and drive future growth."
Turkuvaz already operates nine converting lines and one spunlace line from Andritz.
