By GlobalDataValmet sales manager Hannu Savonen said: “The board machines PM 52 and PM 53 will be built at a completely new site.
“Shanying Paper benefits from the fact that the machines will be sister machines as personnel training can be done at the same time, and the amount of for example spare parts and spare rolls can be optimised.”
Shanying Paper has planned to commence the operations of PM 53 in the first quarter of 2022.
The Chinese company will use the new 9,300mm-wide (wire) board machine to manufacture test liner grades.
With a design speed of 1,200m a minute, the machine has a capacity to produce nearly 1,500t on a daily basis.
