Voith wins two new PM 36 and PM 37 XcelLine papermaking machine orders from Sun Paper in China, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
The orders are for the PM 36 production line with an annual production of 400,000 metric tons of low-grammage highgrade Testliner and the PM 37 production line with an annual production of 300,000 metric tons of high-quality corrugating medium paper.
The design speed of the two paper machines is 1200 m/min, with a working width of 6,660 mm at the reel. The two production lines will be built as part of the second phase of the Zoucheng Papermaking Industry Park, with foundation work planned to begin in May 2017 and startup scheduled for July and September 2018.
The machines are based on the PM 31 and PM 32 paper machines of 2016. The resulting paper offers low basis weight, high ring crush strength, high strength and good folding resistance. It also saves resources, and reduces packing costs and carbon emissions. These products are already widely used in domestic and overseas medium-quality and premium product packaging markets.
Voith is now deepening the implementation of its new "Papermaking. Next Level" concept of product transformation, in order to improve efficiency, increase production, ensure quality and create more intelligent, costeffective and sustainable industrial processes throughout the entire papermaking chain.
Sun Paper was established in 1982 and is now a multinational papermaking group operating worldwide, specializing in forestry-pulppaper integration and playing a leading role in the Chinese paper industry.
Voith Paper is a group division of Voith and one of the leading partners and pioneers in the paper industry.
