With a wire width of 8.66 meters and an annual design capacity of 700,000 tons, PM 47 achieved its maximum operating speed of&nbsp;<strong>1,400 m\/min only 10 days after start-up<\/strong>, making it among the fastest-running multi-fourdrinier packaging paper machines worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project progressed from civil construction to first reel in<strong>&nbsp;just 11 months and 8 days<\/strong>, while ramping up to its maximum operating speed only 10 days after start-up. These achievements reflect the combination of Voith\u2019s full-line technology and the close collaboration between the project teams of Voith and Sun Paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The startup of PM 47 further strengthens the more than 20-year partnership between Voith and Sun Paper, a collaboration that has delivered numerous successful paper production projects and industry benchmarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The PM 47 project has set a new record for wide, high-speed packaging paper machines of this type. This success was driven by the strong collaboration between both teams, who worked in parallel shifts throughout installation and commissioning with around-the-clock responsiveness. It is a perfect combination of Sun Paper&#8217;s execution speed and Voith&#8217;s technology and expertise.&#8221; says Ying Guangdong, Deputy General Manager and Chief Engineer, Sun Paper Co., Ltd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1,400 m\/min: Full-Line Technology Supports Record Performance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Voith delivered PM 47 as a full-line supplier. The scope of delivery included the OCC stock preparation system, the UKP virgin fiber system, wet-end process systems, the paper machine from headbox to reel, as well as automation and digitalization technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A key component of the project is the OCC line, designed for a capacity of&nbsp;<strong>2,200 tons per day<\/strong>, making it among the highest-capacity OCC lines in Asia. The system also features Voith\u2019s&nbsp;<strong>IntensaPulper<\/strong>, among the world\u2019s highest-capacity low-consistency pulpers, enabling reliable and efficient raw material processing under large-scale production conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The production line is equipped with Voith\u2019s advanced automation and digital solutions, including&nbsp;<strong>MCS, QCS, OnCare.CM and MillOne<\/strong>, covering process control, quality management, condition monitoring and production data management. The MillOne platform provides a centralized environment for production data visualization and analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, permanent magnet motor technology has been extensively applied throughout the stock preparation process, helping reduce energy consumption and further improve operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Record-Fast Start-up and Ramp-up Performance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following installation of the final equipment, the machine successfully produced paper only four days later, demonstrating the effectiveness of the commissioning process and the close collaboration between both teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After start-up, PM 47 reached an operating speed of&nbsp;<strong>1,300 m\/min within the first week<\/strong>&nbsp;and increased to&nbsp;<strong>1,400 m\/min after only 10 days<\/strong>. The rapid ramp-up highlights both the machine\u2019s excellent operating performance and the expertise of the joint project team throughout installation, commissioning and start-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPM 47 is another important milestone in the long-standing partnership between Voith and Sun Paper. The project combined advanced technology, strong execution and outstanding teamwork. Together, we achieved an exceptionally fast start-up and ramp-up, setting a new benchmark for the industry.\u201d says Carlos Lin, SVP Order Execution &amp; Operations, Voith Paper Asia. \u201cVoith looks forward to continuing to support Sun Paper\u2019s sustainable growth with innovative technologies, integrated solutions and long-term partnerships.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Voith has successfully started up PM 47, a new packaging paper machine supplied to Sun Paper at its Yanzhou production site in Shandong Province, China.
