The first three rewinders, whose startup is scheduled for January 2017, will be delivered to Guizhou Chitianhua Paper Industry, at the Chishui facilities, in the province of Guizhou (China). The additional six rewinders are scheduled for the second half of next year, while the remaining three units will be delivered at the end of 2017.

The rewinders are all Model AC882 shaftless for tissue production, with grammages ranging from 13 to 42 gsm. They are all in a 5,600 mm format and can run up to 1,000 m/min.

The 12 plants are part of the ambitious development plan that the Chinese group has designed for its tissue division, with the aim of attaining important production goals throughout the East.
