More tissue machines for Lee & Man in China


O


ne of China’s leading pulp and paper makers, Lee & Man Manufacturing,


is having two more tissue production lines delivered by Valmet. The Advantage DCT 200HS lines will be installed at Lee & Man’s mill at Chongqing with an expected start in late 2016. The two new tissue lines will fulfill the high requirements for effective technology and sustainability set by Lee & Man, and follow one that was started up at Chongqing in 2015. “Our first installation in Chongqing is running very well


and we are convinced that the Advantage DCT technology and the partnership with Valmet will support our market expansion in China,” says Raymond Lee, chairman of Lee & Man. Commenting on the project,


Svenerik Olsson, director of Valmet China’s Tissue Mills Business Unit, says: “It’s an honour that Lee & Man have again decided to extend the cooperation which already includes three tissue machine deliveries to the Chongqing mill. As seen from the earlier installations, it is possible to reach significant drying energy savings and highest


paper quality by our innovative combination of flexible pressing, cast Yankee and steam heated hood. With this combination we are able to bring concrete benefits to our customers and to take their performance forward.” The new tissue machines will


have a width of 5.6 metres and a design speed of 2,000 m/min, providing capacity for 60,000 tons of toilet and facial tissue per year, using virgin wood pulp and bleached bamboo fibre as raw material. The project will comprise

Projects & Technology at CMPC Celulosa, said: “We have selected Valmet to supply this project due to the company’s solid performance in carrying out different projects


for us, while maintaining excellent environmental and safety standards during the construction phase. We trust that the new white liquor plant will not only improve Laja’s environmental performance, but will also help to reduce our operational costs.”
