The 2.76-meter-wide machine, with a design speed of 770 meters/min, is one of a few capable of making virgin fiber tissue in Xinjiang, using market pulp imported from Russian as furnish, RISI continues.
 
Korla is the second largest city in Xinjiang after Urumqi, with a population of nearly half a million. Bazhou Mingxing’s output from the new machine is aimed mainly at the local market.
