Futura sales manager Carlo Berti said: "We have worked closely with Kasuga, and it is a great honour and responsibility to supply a line for such a high level producer. Our lines have an established reputation for quality and ease of use, and we are confident that this line will take Kasuga to a new level of reliability, and guarantee a superb quality finished product."

The joint-venture company between Corelex Corporation of Japan and New Toyo Pulppy of Vietnam recently started up a 2.8 m wide tissue machine from A Celli Paper, according to the Italian company.

The Mill has an output of 80 tons/day of tissue products. A Celli supplied the approach flow as well as the combining slitter rewinder AC861 with unwind stands and calender 581. The opening ceremony is due on 4 March 2010.

For Corelex Group, this tissue machine is the third from A.Celli Paper. The other two, including one of double width (5.6 m) are in operation in Japan.

Oriental Japan has created a machine, the White Goat, that turns shredded papers into toilet paper that, it says, is soft and ready for use.

For every 40 sheets of office paper fed into it, the machine produces a coreless roll of toilet paper. The process takes half an hour and the cost of a roll is $0.11, according to the company's publicity.

The machine weighs 600 kg and is 1.8 meters tall. It is available for $100,000. For more information: http://www.orikankyou.com/white/products.html
