Each extruder line has a production of approximately 6000 kg per day.
These 12 lines have a maximum daily production of 66 tons, which is approximately 2000 tons per month.
The yarn produced on these lines was high tenacity for tyre cord, parachutes, ropes and twines, and webbing (seat belts, etc.).
