Voith receives order from Nine Dragons Paper to deliver three XcelLine paper machines to China
- Voith’s technological performance as decisive factor in winning the order.
- Significant capacity expansion reinforces Nine Dragons’ leading position in China’s packaging paper industry.
The planned daily production volume of the three identical paper machines is especially high: approximately 2,400 metric tons each, at production speeds of 1,400 m/min. In order to meet these requirements, the components must be extremely high-performing and robust. The elaborate former design of the machines, which are equipped with a DuoFormer DII E, allows for the required speed with high basis weights at the same time. The press sections each feature a Triple NipcoFlex press, which ensures excellent surface smoothness of white top liner. Due to the double unwind configuration and a fully automated full reel change, the high-performance TwinDrive winder enables fast and efficient winding and thereby ensures a winder capacity that is up to 20 percent higher than conventional unwinding systems.
The commissioning of the machines is planned for 2022 and 2023.
