| Results |
APP Jingui BM2 has been a success from the moment it started up on December 8, 2021. It took only three hours to achieve a smooth start-up in the uncoated section – from the stock entering the headbox to leaving the pre-calender. And, just four days later, the machine was producing salable Grade-A coated white cardboard that hit all targets, with low weight, high bulk and flatness. BM2 had an excellent start-up curve, reaching an operating speed of 1,050 m/min in the first month, and over 1,300 m/min just a few months later. |
