In August, the Chinese paper manufacturer Shanying Suzhou Paper commissioned Voith to supply two XcelLine paper machines with comprehensive digitalization and automation solutions as well as services and spare parts packages for its new site in Zhongying, Anhui Province, in eastern China. As the leading full-line supplier to the paper industry, Voith will supply the entire lines. With a design speed of 1,300 m/min and a wire width of 9,300 mm, the two PM 71 and PM 72 will produce corrugating medium with basis weights between 50 and 120 gsm. The total production capacity of the corrugating medium machines is 812,000 tons per year.

“The Voith-supplied PM 22 is running very stably since its start-up at Shanying Huazhong. The product quality is superior, the consumption of water and energy are far lower than the industry standard, and the production exceeds design capacity,” says Wu Ming Wu, Chairman and CEO of Shanying International. “At the same time, the BlueLine stock preparation lines for PM 21 and PM 22 at Huazhong reached the design capacity shortly after start-up, and the energy consumption is lower than the conventional lines. We are very satisfied with our cooperation with Voith. For the Suzhou project, we are pursuing further deeper partnership with Voith. We are building these two wide packaging machines into new benchmarks and cooperation models in the industry.”

“Shanying Paper is an important customer for Voith. The orders from Shanying Suzhou Paper will strengthen our leading position in APAC and confirm our full-line offering,” says Kurt Yu, President Voith Paper Asia. “Our solutions save significant amount of energy and raw materials while optimizing production output. With our optimized XcelLine performance and reference management experience, we will ensure a great success of this project.”

Technologically leading solutions for the most sustainable and efficient operation.

Designed as one of the world’s most efficient paper machines for ultra-lightweight corrugating medium, the scope of supply includes the entire line from MasterJet Pro headbox to MasterReel pope reel. Voith supplies resource-saving headboxes without recirculation and a DuoFormer D II forming section for best paper quality. A DuoCentri NipcoFlex press ensures optimal runnability and highest dryness. The reliable and robust SpeedSizer AT is used for the necessary starch application. In addition, Shanying Suzhou Paper relies on a comprehensive automation package with MCS, DCS and QCS. The digital solution OnCare.Health helps to further increase the efficiency of the plants. Basic engineering, erection and commissioning monitoring are also included in the scope of supply. Furthermore, Shanying Suzhou Paper ordered roll covers, a comprehensive spare and wear parts package, training and long-term service.
