company recently built a new board machine at its Ningbo mill and the
world's largest single fiberline in Hainan province.RAMPING UP The Chinese paper See See also: Chinese industry set a fast pace for capacity expansion, beginning in the early 1990s. In 1993, a private investor, Morning-side, decided to build a modern art paper line in Suzhou Industrial Park The China-Singapore Suzhou Industrial Park (中国——新加坡苏州工业园区, SIP) is an industrial park built in Suzhou, China with significant Singaporean input. . That machine was 4.3/3.9 m wide, using the same technology as Enso's PM 6 in Oulu, Finland. For a short time after it started up in late 1996, the Suzhou machine was the largest in China, producing 110,000 metric tons/yr. The Suzhou single-machine mill is now owned by Stora Enso
Later, several large containerboard con·tain·er·board n. A corrugated or solid cardboard used to make containers. machines were built in Guangdong by Nine Dragons and Lee & Man. Chenming invested at a mill in Shouguang, Shandong province by installing a 5.1 m wide fine paper machine in 1997. Two years later, Chenming built another, similar machine at the site. Each machine produces 180,000 metric tons/yr of fine paper. Guangzhou Paper bought an 8.3 m wide secondhand newsprint newsprint low grade paper used for newspapers. Old newspapers are fed to cattle as an alternative roughage and may occasionally be ingested by dogs. Significant amounts of lead are accumulated in tissues; no cases of poisoning have been recorded in cattle, though it has been machine from Sweden around the same time. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Finally, in 1998, Asia Pulp & Paper (Sinar Mas, Indonesia) decided to build two 10.5 m wide fine paper machines (one with a coating unit) in Dagang, Jiangsu province. The machines started up the following year. One of the machines was equipped with an off-machine coater, and later the second machine was equipped with a similar finishing line. These machines are still the largest printing and writing paper machines in the world. In addition, APP will start up PM3 at the mill in spring 2005. This 10.7 m wide machine will produce 600,000 metric tons/yr of fine paper with on-machine coating. Another major player, Asian-Pacific Resources (APRIL April: see month. ), ordered two 9.4 m wide fine paper machines in 1997 from Beloit for its Changshu mill, 100 kilometers from Dagang. Only one machine was installed and Metso Paper took over the project. Due to cash flow problems at APRIL caused in part by the Asian recession, the mill was then taken over by UPM UPM Universidad Politécnica de Madrid UPM Universiti Putra Malaysia UPM University of the Philippines - Manila UPM Unit Production Manager (film and video production) UPM User Profile Management UPM United People's Movement after a short-lived joint venture. UPM Changshu, as it is called today, is now building a 450,000 metric tons/yr, 10.4 m wide, fine paper line, which will start up in late spring 2005. At the beginning of this decade, several other Chinese companies Chinese owned companies can be defined as enterprises within mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and the Republic of China (Taiwan):
APP MOVES AHEAD One of the most recent large machine installations is at APP's Ningbo mill, where the company has installed the largest coated board line in the world (700,000 metric tons/yr). APP has also started up Jinhai Pulp on the island of Hainan, the largest single fiberline operation in the word, producing 1 million metric tons/yr of chemical pulp. This article profiles these two large investment projects. JINHAI PULP, HAINAN Prior to the construction of Jinhai Pulp, the largest pulp mill A pulp mill is a manufacturing facility that converts wood chips or other plant fiber source into a thick fiber board which can be shipped to a paper mill for further processing. was the recently constructed Rizhao Pulp Mill, which produces 180,000 metric tons/yr. China produced a total of 2.5 million metric tons of chemical wood pulp wood pulp: see paper. in 2004, while consumption was 9 million metric tons. A modern pulp mill producing 1 million metric tons/yr of eucalyptus eucalyptus (y  'kəlĭp`təs): see myrtle. eucalyptus and acacia pulp, such as Jinhai pulp, will change this equation dramatically. Built by the Sinar Mas Group-APP China, the Jinhai mill was completed less than two years after the financing decision. The first pulp was produced on November 25, 2004. Jinhai Pulp Mill, or Hainan Gold Hai Pulp, is located on the coast of Hainan island, in the Yangpu Economic Development Zone (a total area of 30 square kilometers, established in September 1993).

Wood for the mill is primarily Eucalyptus grandia and Acacia crassicarpa Acacia crassicarpa (Northern Wattle, Thick-podded Salwood, Brown Salwood, Papua New Guinea Red Wattle, Red Wattle; syn. Racosperma crassicarpum (A.Cunn. ex Benth.) Pedley. , which have rotations of 6-9 years. Sinar Mas has 160,000 hectares (ha) of plantations in Hainan, Guangdong, and Guangxi provinces. The company will plant an additional 80,000 ha of plantations in these three provinces by 2007, and it is preparing an additional 150,000 ha in Yunnan province Noun 1.

Liu Han Hung, chairman and president of Hainan Jinhai Pulp & Paper, Hainan Jinhua Forestry, and Hainan Fu Mei Forestry, said that the Jinhai Mill gets its domestic wood from Hainan, Guangdong, and Guangxi. The Yunnan wood is too far away, making it too expensive to transport to the Jinhai Mill. Available wood in Hainan, Guangdong, and Guangxi accounts for a majority of the mill's total consumption, 4 million cubic meters Noun 1. cubic meter - a metric unit of volume or capacity equal to 1000 liters cubic metre, kiloliter, kilolitre metric capacity unit - a capacity unit defined in metric terms a year.

At the end of December 2004, production was about 1500 metric tons/day, with the bottleneck A lessening of throughput. It often refers to networks that are overloaded, which is caused by the inability of the hardware and transmission lines to support the traffic. It can also refer to a mismatch inside the computer where slower-speed peripheral buses and devices prevent the CPU being chemical preparation. By early February, production was up to 2000 metric tons/day. Pulp is dried at an Andritz drying machine, which is 9.4 m wide and has a capacity of 250 mpm. The dryer includes a Flakt dryer section and Andritz cutter and baling stations. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] The mill takes its fresh water from mountain streams, cleaning it with a micro-flotation system. The mill produces 70,000 [m.sup.3] of wastewater daily when the mill runs to capacity. The wastewater handling system includes a traditional cooling tower, followed by a pre-clarifier. NINGBO ASIA PULP & PAPER: COATED PAPER Coated paper is paper which has been coated by an inorganic compound to impart certain qualities to the paper, including weight and surface gloss, smoothness or ink absorbency. Kaolinite is the compound most often used for coating papers used in commercial printing. ON A MASSIVE SCALE Ningbo Asia Pulp & Paper Mill is located in Ningbo City, Zhejiang province, approximately 250 km south from Shanghai by the costal road. Sinar Mas, Indonesia built the mill in 1992, when the first coated duplex (communications) duplex - Used to describe a communications channel that can carry signals in both directions, in contrast to a simplex channel which only ever carries a signal in one direction. board machine was installed. Today, the mill has 2100 employees, including 600 working in the new mill. Today, the mill produces a total of 1.2 million metric tons/yr of coated board. Sinar Mas China invested US$ 650 million in the PM6 line at Ningbo. The company did its own mill engineering for both the Ningbo and Hainan projects in collaboration with equipment suppliers. The new PM 6 board machine started up in November 2004. Wire width is 8.85 m and web at the reel is 8.115 m wide. Mechanical design speed of the machine is 900 meters/min, and its drive system is designed for a maximum of 800 meters/min. The machine has 5-ply forming and five coating heads. It produces coated duplex board and white lined chipboard chip·board n.

The top side of the board is coated three times, and the back side twice. For winding, the mill purchased a Winbelt winder to ensure minimum variation in bulk and surface smoothness. For finishing, the mill has Saimatec wrapping units (20-30% of production), and 9 sheeters, each producing 150-200 metric tons/day (including 8 Maruishi sheeters).

He did so alongside Iain Sydie. , senior director of operations for Ningbo Asia Pulp & Paper, said that PM6 is the largest of its kind in the world. It was running at 630 mpm at the end of December 2004. The product being produced at the time was a 250 gsm duplex board, with a 35 gsm top layer, 33 gsm undertop layer, 80 gsm filler layer, 27 gsm underback layer, and a 30 gsm back layer. Top layer brightness was about 78% and gloss 55%. The machine ran at 2170 metric tons/day producing 350 gsm duplex board during the first week of January 2005. The mill is aiming for a speed of 700 meters/min, but to date bottlenecks have prevented the mill from reaching that goal. The mill's production target for the machine, 2350 metric tons/day, which will amount to 700,000 metric tons/yr, is expected to be realized in 2006 at the latest. The start up has been easy considering the complicated wet end system, although many start up problems have been solved and some are yet to be solved. Kaul noted that the machine has high product quality and low production costs, due to a flexible furnish. The machine's large scale is very important. APP's motto is to produce high quality products at low costs, which will certainly be realized here; return-on-investment for the machine should be reached in only a few years. The mill's production is being sold on the Chinese market, where demand for coated paperboard paperboard, material similiar in shape and composition to paper, but generally thicker, stronger, and more rigid. Paper machines, e.g., Fourdrinier machines, are used to make sheets of paperboard. is high.

Eucalyptus pulp comes from Hainan Jinhai Pulp, while softwood kraft is purchased from abroad. PM 6 is dedicated to production of white lined chipboard and coated duplex board. Demand for these grades in China is growing, and additional production capacity is needed. The mill is already planning to install PM7, which will produce packaging materials on the same scale as PM6. SINAR MAS WILL CONTINUE INVESTING APP, the parent company of Sinar Mas, faced the full effect of the Asian crisis in 2001 due to the collapse of the Indonesian currency. The company says that its long-expected debt restructuring Debt Restructuring A method used by companies with outstanding debt obligations to alter the terms of the debt agreements in order to achieve some advantage. Notes: is almost complete, with more than 90% of the debtors agreeing to the prepared debt-repayment program. However, the process was still open at the writing of this article in the beginning of February. APP's debt problems halted the company's Indonesian investments, but its Chinese investments have continued. In 2004, Sinar Mas also completed several second-hand paper machinery installations, some in Indonesia and some in China. This growth is needed, according to Eero Palokangas, technology director for the APP Group, who adds that the company's paper and board production capacity will reach 10 million metric tons/yr by 2010. Most of the new capacity will be built in China, where the investment climate is favorable fa·vor·a·ble adj. 1. Advantageous; helpful: favorable winds. 2.

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] According to Sinar Mas, the biggest obstacle to profitable investment in China today is the global currency system. The Euro is currently extraordinarily expensive, boosting investment costs Those program costs required beyond the development phase to introduce into operational use a new capability; to procure initial, additional, or replacement equipment for operational forces; or to provide for major modifications of an existing capability. by 30% over the past three years; and critical pulping and papermaking technology is available only from Europe. Sinar Mas must, according to Palokangas, consider all its means to reduce investment costs, including the possibility of building its own factory to manufacture "non-critical" parts of paper and board machines in China. Sinar Mas will consider this alternative if its suppliers are not able to arrange delivery systems with lower investment costs.
