On August 13, Sichuan Huaqiao Fenghuang Paper successfully started up its highly efficient XcelLine packaging paper machine at the Guanghan site in China. Voith delivered the entire line. The project set a new record for the fastest start-up of such a paper machine. Only six months passed from installation to successful start-up – two months ahead of schedule. The commissioning of the BlueLine OCC stock preparation system and the XcelLine paper machine took just four and five weeks, respectively.
PM 6 has a width of 7.92 meters and a design speed of 1,400 meters per minute. It mainly produces high-quality packaging paper in the range of 90 to 170 gsm and has an annual production capacity of about 400,000 tons. The associated BlueLine OCC stock preparation line has an impressive capacity of 2,200 tons per day and is currently the largest OCC line in the Asian market.
Many thanks for the hard work and technical innovation of both teams! The very good performance of PM 6 is the excellent result of the continuous efforts and close cooperation of both teams. At the same time, the high performance reflects the outstanding efficiency of the Voith paper machines. The successful startup will further increase Huaqiao Fenghuang’s production capacity and create a solid foundation for our future development.
The successful start-up of PM 6 exemplifies the strong technical competence and professional qualifications of both teams, and it also demonstrates the benefits of full-line delivery from Voith. The full-line delivery reduces integration and coordination efforts for the customer, lowers operational risk and ensures product quality, all of which increase product competitiveness.
Voith is committed to sustainable and environmentally friendly papermaking through innovative technologies that significantly reduce the consumption of fibers, energy and water. PM 6 symbolizes the shared passion and commitment of both teams to the paper industry. Voith’s goal is to work with its customers to drive environmentally friendly development of the paper industry with reduced carbon emissions.
