Chinese papermakers Nanning Jindaxing Pulp Co. (greenfield mill) and Shandong Tralin Paper Co., have placed orders for advanced automation technology with Metso, Finland. Nanning Jindaxing ordered a Metso DNA automation system for its new fiberline and a Metso MAP wet end analyzer and a Metso RM3 retention analyzer for its fine paper machine.
Additionally, Metso has signed an agreement with Nanning Design Institute of Light Industry for the delivery of analyzers and measurements, such as Metso Kappa Q, bleaching sensors, consistency transmitters, and Kemotron sensors, to Nanning Jindaxing Pulp Co. After startup, the greenfield mill will be the biggest pulp and paper producer in the Guangxi area with a capacity of 120,000 metric tpy of newsprint, 200,000 metric tpy of fine paper, and 170,000 metric tpy of pulp.
Another Metso DNA automation system will be supplied to Shandong Tralin Paper Co., in Gaotang City, Shandong Province. The company is one of the main manufacturers of straw pulp, fine paper, LWC, coated board, and unbleached tissue in China. The investment in a new process control system is part of the mill's modernization and environmental protection project.
"China has been and continues to be a significant market area for Metso's automation technology. In addition to new pulp and papermaking lines, we increasingly supply products for second-hand machines," said Ye Zhongde, regional VP, Metso.
