The new line is equipped with a Kadant recycled fiber processing system and an approach flow system with a design capacity of 400,000 tons per year.

The innovative technologies and equipment supplied by Kadant Fiberline China enable excellent stock quality and yield significant savings in energy consumption. Dubbed PM23, the paper machine features a trim width of 7.8 m and a design speed of 1,300 mpm.
The OCC line features pulping loop automation, an automated grapple hoist, ragger, and rag rope cutter. The new line is designed to:
Improve productivity
Provide the mill with modern pulping operations and controls
Use encoders for absolute positioning
Permit full DCS access to all parameters, functions, and alarms
With this project, ShanYing once again affirmed the long-term cooperation between ShanYing and Kadant Fiberline China, which has already supplied several complete new lines for its various other paper machines and rebuilt several OCC systems for ShanYing.
