Ningbo Xiaogang PM 1 boardmaking line has successfully been started up in Xiaogang, Ningbo in China. The greenfield line delivered, by Metso Paper, comprises a complete stock preparation system with eight lines for virgin and recycled fiber, a complete board machine with on-machine coating, air systems and mill engineering.
The new line is the largest carton board production line in the world with the capacity of 700 000 tons per year of white lined chipboard.
"The start-up target for this giant board machine was very demanding. However, the Metso team together with the Ningbo board machine team responded very well to achieve the challenging goal. The quality of the coated board was saleable from the first roll. This is indeed very promising", says Anil Kaul, Director of Ningbo.
Metso Corporation is a global supplier of process industry machinery and systems, as well as know-how and aftermarket services.
