- On November 12, the Taiwan papermaker Shanghai Cheng Loong and Voith took
one of the world's fastest packaging paper machines into operation in
Shanghai, China. Thanks to the excellent teamwork and due to perfect tuning
of the entire production process – ranging from the stock preparation
system to the reel and including the slitter-winder – saleable paper was
produced immediately after start-up. After no more than three days of
production, 1,000 tons were produced per day!
The
paper machine produces top-quality test liner and corrugating medium in a
basis weight range of 90-240 g/m˛. The product range comprises light-weight
grades based on recycled fibers, as well as kraft topliner made from virgin
fiber. With a wire width of 7,000 mm, the machine was designed for a maximum
daily production of 1,000 tons. Its design speed is 1,300 m/min, making it
thus one of the world's fastest packaging paper machines.
The new line was set up in
Shanghai, Asia’s fastest expanding city, and has significantly boosted the
Cheng Loong Group’s output with its production capacity of 300,000 tpy.

growing Chinese market.
