OREANDA-NEWS. July 09, 2014. Sun Paper has commissioned Voith with the delivery of three paper machines for production of packaging and graphic paper.

Another machine for production of graphic paper is being installed at the location in Yanzhou, China. The PM 29 is designed for a wire width of 8,100 mm and an operating speed of 1,800 m/min. In the future, graphic paper will be produced on it in a basis weight range of 50-120 g/m?.

Sun Paper was founded in 1980 and today is one of the largest paper manufacturers in China to be privately owned. The company produces around 3.5 million metric tons of paper annually.
