Yuen Foong Yu Completes Rebuild of Containerboard Machine in Taiwan The Yuen Foong Yu (YFY) Industrial Paper Co., Taipei,Taiwan, has successfully started up the rebuilt No. 1 paper machine at its Hsin Wu mill in Taiwan. The rebuild of several key sections of the machine was aimed at improving overall efficiency and product quality. The rebuild, handled by PMT Italia, Italy, included a new PMT M4 headbox with a dilution system for the back ply and the rebuild of two existing headboxes, redesign and reconstruction of the wire section into a three-ply fourdrinier configuration, and upgrading of the dewatering system. A new film size press was installed along with a new after dryer section and upgrade of the calender and reel.

Machine runnability was improved in critical areas of the dryer section also by means of a new tail threading through the film size press to the reel. A new MCS for the entire paper machine completed the scope of PMT's supply.

The YFY industrial paper division produces kraft paper and corrugated containerboard grades. The division has two mills in Taiwan. The Hsin-wu mill in the northern part of Taiwan is mainly responsible for the production of kraft board and white board used to manufacture corrugated cases and colored cases. The Cheng-kung mill in the middle part of Taiwan produces corrugating medium. The Yang-zhou mill is located in China.
