Baoding Zeyu to Build New Tissue Machine

The unit, scheduled to start up by May next year, will be provided by domestic supplier Weifang Hicredit Machinery.

It has a width of 3.55 m and a design speed of 1,300 m/min, and features a steel Yankee drying cylinder with a diameter of 15 ft. The TM will be fed with 100% virgin wood pulp sourced from the market.

It is Baoding Zeyu’s first foray into the tissue sector. Currently a regional producer of recycled packaging board, the company operates two recycled fluting machines and a coreboard production line with a combined capacity of around 200,000 tonnes/yr.
