Two 15,000 Tissue PMs Start in Baoding, China

Two small mills in Baoding city, Hebei province, China each fired up a 15,000-tonne/yr tissue machine in late June.

The first sheet of paper rolled off a Weifang Hicredit-supplied TM at Baoding Lifa Paper on June 23. The unit has a trim width of 3.5 m and a design speed of 900 m/min, and is fed with wood pulp.

Around the same time, Baoding Zhongxin Paper, a producer in the same city, kicked off trial runs on an identical TM. It had already commissioned an identical tissue production line in the final quarter of last year.

And it has already signed up Weifang Hicredit Machinery to provide a third TM of its kind with startup scheduled for March or April in 2018.
