The Libang Group has ordered four new tissue machines for its mills in China. Domestic Baotuo Machinery Engineering has been signed up to provide the units.

Each will have a capacity of 20,000 metric tpy, a trim width of 3.55 m, and a design speed of 1,300 m/min. Two will be installed at the group’s mill in Baoding city, Hebei, which is run by its subsidiary Baoding Gangxing Paper.

Currently Baoding Gangxing operates seven tissue machines with a total capacity of approximately 110,000 metric tpy, making it one of the largest tissue paper producers in the city.

The other two units are destined for a greenfield mill in Xiaogan city, Hubei province. The new facility is to be run by another subsidiary, Hubei Libang Paper.

According to an environmental impact assessment document published by the Xiaogan municipal environmental authorities in September, Hubei Libang plans to build a total of 300,000 metric tpy of capacity at the Xiaogan mill.

The company has not revealed a specific timeline for the project.
