Bank Note Paper to Install Two Additional Lines in India

Bank Note Paper Mill India has commissioned Voith, Germany, to supply two new bank note paper machines to its Mysore, India, mill. The project involves two entire production lines, including all machine clothing. Each of the two machines has a wire width of 2,800 mm and produces high-quality bank note paper with a basis weight of 90 gsm. The annual production capacity per machine is 6,000 metric tons.

In 2010, Indian manufacturer SPMCIL in Hoshangabad had ordered an entire bank note paper machine from Voith. Together with the two recently ordered production lines, these three machines reportedly will be able to meet the current need for bank notes in India.

As Voith explains, bank note paper has to meet high quality and security requirements. Accordingly, the machines on which this special paper is made are usually adapted to the respective conditions of the individual countries.
