JK Paper Ltd., India, a producer of branded photo copier and cut-sized office papers, has ordered from Metso, Finland, the supply and startup of a Metso Paper Lab for automatic testing of paper properties at its Rayagada paper mill. Ashish De, new products chief executive at JK Paper, noted that the advanced Paper Lab was chosen to meet challenges posed by the high machine speed, scarcity of trained manpower for routine lab testing, and the company's "ccontinuous pursuit of best technologies."

Planned startup date for the Paper Lab is this October, when JK Paper's Rayagada mill completes 50 years of operation.

The Paper Lab measures quality parameters including tensile, formation, brightness, roughness, porosity, basis weight, and caliper.
