Operating Speed of Cheng Loong TM 16 Provided by Voith Breaks World Records Substantially Ahead of the Industry in Several Indexes
Chupei, Taiwan: In Taiwan the Cheng Loong TM 16 tissue machine provided by Voith successfully passed its guarantee test recently. Its operating speed is up to 2,001 m/min, which is the fastest speed with a steam hood in the world, leading the industry in several performance indexes.
In the guarantee test, TM 16 kept running at 2,001 m/min for 8 hours and reached all guarantee indexes. At this record-breaking high speed, the steam consumption of the TM 16 is still very low, at only 1.65 metric ton of steam per ton paper. And the after-press dryness, at up to 46.5%, is very high. All these indexes represent the highest industry standards.
