Print Print this Article | Send to Colleague

Hengan International has kicked off trial production on a new 25,000 tonne/yr tissue PM at a mill in Changji, in northwestern China’s Xinjiang autonomous region.
 
The first sheet of paper rolled off the Toscotec unit last month.
 
Dubbed PM 26, it has a net sheet width of 2.8 m, a production speed of 1,600 m/min, and is equipped with a 12-foot steel yankee dryer.
 
The Changji mill operates an identical machine, which came on stream in November.
 
The pair have boosted Hengan's total tissue capacity to 1.31 million tonnes/yr.
 
The Hong Kong-listed company plans to expand the figure to 1.43 million tonnes/yr by the first half of 2018.
 
The remaining 120,000 tonnes/yr will come from two Valmet tissue PMs ordered for an existing mill in Weifang city, Shandong province.
