PM 2 and PM 3 in Nanning are the 13th and 14th paper machines supplied to Sun Paper by Voith.
"Our long-standing cooperation with Voith has taught us that a good business relationship is not only based on one-time success but also on mutual support and long-term growth," said Li Lu, Chairman of Sun Holdings Group. "From PMs 31/32 and PMs 36/37 in Zoucheng to PM 1/2s in Laos and PMs 2/3 in Nanning, we and Voith have demonstrated through concrete actions that a true partnership is based on deep mutual trust and shared values."
PM 2 and PM 3 in Nanning have a wire width of 7.3 meters and has achieved a design speed of 1,200 m/min.
PM 2 produces high-quality packaging paper with a basis weight of 140-250 gsm and an annual capacity of around 520,000 tons.
PM 3 specializes in high-quality packaging paper with a basis weight between 100-160 gsm and has an annual capacity of around 480,000 tons.
