Metso Paper Oy will supply a complete board making line to Ning Shing Development Co. in Ningbo, China. The new line will be the largest in the world, with the daily capacity of over 2,000 tonnes.
The delivery includes a complete stock preparation system with eight lines, a board machine, air systems, machine hall cranes, as well as mill engineering. The value of the order is approximately 220 million euros. The partners' co-operation started in early 2003, and the new line is planned to start up in the second quarter of 2004.
Mill engineering is carried out by JP Engineering Ltd. The Cadmatic system will be employed throughout the design project, from the stock preparation systems to the board production. The project is distributed over three locations; Tampere, Kouvola and Jyväskylä. A total of 40 Cadmatic users will be involved, using a shared database over the network. The project brings in one new Cadmatic customer, JP Engineering Ltd's Tampere office, where 20 users were initiated into the Cadmatic methods in early 2003.
