China’s Ningxia Jiamei Gets Two New TMs

Ningxia Jiamei Paper will install two new 20,000-tonne/yr tissue machines at its mill in Wuzhong city, in northwest China’s Ningxia autonomous region.

The producer has placed orders for the production lines from Guangdong Baotuo Science and Technology, a newly formed company created by Chinese supplier Baotuo Paper Machinery Engineering.

Guangdong Baotuo has recently acquired Liaoyang Allideas Paperteck, a paper machinery supplier based in Liaoyang city, China’s northern province of Liaoning.

The TMs, each having a trim width of 3.55 m and a design speed of 1,300 m/min, are scheduled to come onstream by the end of this year.

According to a contact from Ningxia Jiamei, currently the Wuzhong facility can convert 35,000 tonnes/yr of tissue into finished products.

It sources some of the jumbo rolls from a plant in the nearby city of Qingtongxia where an affiliate company produces tissue furnished with wood and bamboo pulp on four small TMs with a combined capacity of around 15,000 tonnes/yr.
