Hebei Jinboshi Starts Second 27,000-Tonne/yr Tissue PM in Baoding, China

China’s Hebei Jinboshi Group has fired up a new 27,000-tonne/yr tissue PM at its facility in Baoding city, in the northern province of Hebei. The first sheet of paper rolled off the line last week.

Provided by machinery supplier PMP Group, the unit has a trim width of 3.65 m and an operating speed of 1,200 m/min. Its output will be virgin wood fiber-based tissue in the basis weight range of 12.5-25 g/m².

An identical machine came on stream at the same mill in June. The startups have boosted the company’s total tissue capacity to around 80,000 tonnes/yr.
