The equipment consists of two complete tissue production lines, featuring two tissue machines with stock preparation systems and auxiliaries. Each of the machines will be equipped with a headbox, a Yankee cylinder, hood, a dust management system for enhanced working environment and a reel. The stock preparation systems will consist of pulpers, conical refiners and deflakers and machine screens. Both machines will be delivered with a comprehensive Metso automation package that includes  machine, process and integrated drive controls, as well as a  quality control system and a steam box for energy saving and moisture profile control.

Both production lines will be installed at Shanghai Orient Champion Paper’s paper mill in Jinshan near Shanghai. After both lines are installed, capacity at the mill will double from 70,000 to 140,000 metric tons per year.
