Acrowood will deliver a DEAL Rotary Debarker to Shandong Sun Paper Industry Joint Stock Co. Ltd.'s Laos project. This order tops off 2010 and 2011 sales to some of China's largest mills, including the Guangxi Jingdaxing Group, and the Yunnan Yunjing Forestry & Paper Co. Ltd.
"We are pleased that these companies have invested in Acrowood technology as the industry moves to upgrade and expand existing as well as build new mills," said Acrowood Chairman and CEO Farhang Javid.
Sun Paper is China’s largest, privately owned paper company. The mill has purchased a DEAL RS4L330-60 Rotary Debarker -- key equipment for a new, 980 admt per day dissolving grade pulp mill located in Muang Phin, Laos. Mill start-up is scheduled for late 2012.
Acrowood has previously supplied equipment for Sun Paper. In 2006, Acrowood provided a complete woodyard system for their Chemical Mechanical Pulping Mill in China. That installation included an Acrowood debarker, chipper, and complete chip thickness screening system. Two dual drive suspended screens were also provided at the mill.
In August of 2010, Acrowood was awarded an order for a chipper (to produce pulp chips from both logs and bamboo) and a complete Chip Thickness Screening system from Guangxi Jingdaxing Group. The screening system includes an Acrowood Raised Roll Disc Thickness Screen, DiamondRoll VIRO Fines Screen, Air Density Separator System, and Chip Cracker. The order also included an Acrowood disc scalper to process their purchased chips. Start up for the woodyard system is scheduled for May of 2011.
Jingdaxing Group is one of the top 10 largest Pulp and Paper businesses in China and owns three companies; Jingdaxing Pulp Co. Ltd., Jingdaxing Paper Co. Ltd. and Jingdaxing Forest Co. Ltd.
In September of 2011, Acrowood received an order from Yunnan Yunjing Forestry & Paper Co. Ltd for a model 8425 Slant Disc Whole Log Chipper and a high capacity, three deck, four sort, Dual Drive Suspended Rotary Screen.
The mill is located in Jinggu County of Pu’er City in Yunnan Province and is one of the largest industries in Yunnan Province. The mill was established in the early ‘90s and has consistently upgraded its equipment to use the most advanced technologies. The current goal is to expand production capacity and erect a first-class, bleached sulfate plant. The line is expected to be commissioned in mid to late 2011.
“Acrowood debarkers, screens, chippers, and chip thickness systems have proven themselves.” said Mr. Javid, explaining the continued use of Acrowood’s equipment in China’s burgeoning woodyard industry. “The quality components in Acrowood machinery provide high performance and reduced maintenance cost, bringing the greatest return for customer’s investment. It’s all about performance value.”
