China’s C&S Paper to Move TM from Guandong Province to Zhejiang Province

C&S paper, China, will move a 10,000 metric tpy tissue machine at a mill in Zhongshan city, Guangdong province, to another mill in Jiaxing city, Zhejiang province, RISI reports. The machine, which started up in 2004, is the only one at the Zhongshan site, which also runs several converting lines. Supplied by Kawanoe Zoki, Japan, it  2.66 meters wide with a design speed of 600 m/min. 

 

The destination Jiaxing mill in the eastern Chinese province of Zhejiang currently operates two Kawanoe Zoki tissue machines with a combined capacity of around 22,000 metric tpy, RISI notes. 

After the relocation, jumbo rolls from the firm's other mills in the southern province of Guangdong will be shipped to the Zhongshan plant for processing. The firm explained that its capacity in South China increased greatly in 2014, while its tissue supplies have been short in East China. Last year, it started up two 60,000 metric tpy tissue machines at a new mill in Guangdong province's Luoding city, boosting the company's total tissue capacity to around 450,000 metric tpy. The identical machines have widths of 5.6 meters and design speeds of 1,900 m/min. The first came online in May, followed by the second in November, according to RISI.
