Following successful deliveries of 29 hydraulic headboxes and 10 tissue machines within the past eight years to China, PMP Group, Poland, reports that this week it started up a new PMP Intelli-Nip® shoe press at one of China’s leading paper producers, Jiangsu Changfeng Paper Co.
Jiangsu Changfeng Paper Co. is part of the Jiangsu Changfeng Group that employs more than 650 people. The company’s main product is fluting paper with various specifications to meet requirements of different customers. Jiangsu Changfeng is also known for producing testliner (3-ply, 90-220 gsm). Its products are currently exported to Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
The new Intelli-Nip shoe press is the latest PMP installation at the mill. The company had earlier installed three PMP Intelli-Jet V® hydraulic headboxes and a PMP Intelli-Sizer® size press with metering heads on the mill’s PM 3 (reel trim 4,860 mm). Project goals of the latest installation are focused on increasing the paper machine’s capacity by boosting its operating speed from 800 to 900 m/min. (almost 13% capacity increase). Another target is to significantly improve quality parameters of the final product (especially its strength) and machine runnability.
