Recently, the Russian Ilim Group announced that Voith will supply XcelLine paper machines for Ilim's new pulp and paperboard plant in Ustiylimsk, Russia.
According to Ilim's announcement, the new paper machine will have a width of 9400mm and will produce 80-175g/m2 of kraftliner. The daily output can reach 2,150 tons, and the annual output can reach 600,000 tons. It will be the world's largest packaging after completion. Paper production line.
The project, located in Ust-Ilimsk, Siberia, is a key project of the Ilim Group's future large-scale investment plan to increase production capacity in the Siberian region. It is worth noting that after the production line was put into production, the products were not digested in Russia, but mainly sold to China, which undoubtedly had an impact on China's high-end packaging paper market.
China is one of the most important overseas markets of the Ilim Group. By the end of 2017, Ilim can export 1.5 million tons of pulp and paper products to China every year. The Group's strategic goal is to increase exports to 2.4 million tons by 2023.
The project is expected to be officially put into operation by the end of 2021.

British Bobst Manchester coating technology innovation British vacuum coating equipment supplier Bobst Manchester has provided a new coating isolation technology for the paper packaging industry, adding a new AlOxoptimized CO750 coating line.
The new line further enhances vacuum and wet coating technology to meet the industry's requirements for sustainable packaging. The market's most compact AlOx coater CO750 and the world's most productive coater, the K5EXPERT, accelerate process development and enable rapid mass production. This solution produces a highly barrier transparent recyclable film that is critical to the barrier properties of the film during processing.
First, a film of AlOx plating was plated on a vacuum coater, and then a specially developed top coat was applied on the coating line to conventionally process the film without destroying the AlOx layer.
Dry and wet coating proprietary processes from a single supplier and top coat formulations enable faster production.
The vacuum coating process provides a wider coating process window and then top coat. Unlike other vacuum on-line evaporation surface coating solutions, this coating solution can run at maximum speed without compromising performance. To further increase productivity.
