Xinxiang Xinya Group Co. (Henan Xinhai Paper Co.), China, has ordered from Andritz, Graz, Austria, key equipment, a new automation system, and services for the upgrade of a softwood CTMP (chemi-thermomechanical pulp) line that was transferred from Canada to China. Startup of the new line, reconfigured by Andritz Pulp & Paper to one of China's biggest hardwood mechanical pulping systems and based on the P-RC APMP technology, is scheduled for the end of 2012.

The pulp produced will be used primarily for board grades. However, the line also allows the possibility to produce printing and writing grades in the future. The line capacity is 700 metric tpd.
