Partnership Yields Results at Wuhan Golden Phoenix Paper, Paper360º November/December 2018

A phoenix is rising in Xiaogan, Hebei Province, China, where 1,200,000 tons of fluting makes this mill the leading producer in China for this grade. Appropriately called Wuhan Golden Phoenix Paper, five paper machines—including the most recent, PM 8, which started up in early 2018—churn out fluting day and night, looked after by 800 workers who live beside the mill or close by.

The entrepreneurial owner of Wuhan GPP, Chen Jun, brings together the best of Western papermaking technology with Chinese-made paper machines. Most of the innovative systems come from Kadant. This begins with stock preparation equipment and screening, which maximizes the value of relatively low quality domestic recycled fiber. Also from Kadant are the steam and condensate system, rotary joints, syphons, and Turbulator bars, as well as an M-clean™ cleaning system for felt cleaning. In fact, Kadant syphons and rotors, along with Turbulator bars, are in place on every machine throughout the mill.
