The Bank Note Paper Mill has ordered from Voith (Germany) two banknote paper machines for its mill in Mysore, India. The project involves two complete production lines, including all machine clothing. Each of the machines has an annual production capacity of 6,000 metric tons of high-quality banknote paper.
In 2010, Voith had already received an order for the delivery of a complete banknote paper machine from the Indian banknote paper manufacturer SPMCIL in Hoshangabad. Together with the two production lines just ordered, the three machines will be able to cover the current demand for banknotes in India.
Banknote paper machines, Voith explains, have to meet high quality requirements. The paper must be robust, dirt resistant, and moisture repellent. In addition, there are also high security standards regarding the quality and the production of this special material. Banknote paper contains about 200 different security features, such as water marks, fluorescent fibers, or a security thread made of aluminum, which is inserted by the machine during the production process. For this reason, banknote paper machines are usually custom-built items, adapted to the individual requirements and specific conditions of the country where they are operating.
