The PM8 paper machine at China Forest Paper is a purely domestic medium-to-large-scale paper machine, representing the solid progress of China's paper machinery manufacturing technology. The machine features a paper web width of 6,760mm and a high operating speed of 1,100 m/min, making it a high-efficiency model among domestic equipment of its class.
The machine primarily produces high-quality packaging paper. With its stable operation and excellent production capacity design, it has quickly become a core production unit at the customer's facility. The successful operation of PM8 demonstrates the reliability of domestically manufactured paper machines in high-speed, wide-web production scenarios.
Three Core Products from Meixin: Enhancing Efficiency and Stability
To meet the operational requirements of the PM8 paper machine, Meixin provided three key cleaning and auxiliary systems:
1. Dryer Fabric Cleaner
During high-speed operation, dryer fabrics are prone to clogging from stickies, dust, and fibers, leading to reduced breathability. Meixin's Dryer Fabric Cleaner operates continuously without stopping the machine:
Benefits: Maintains and improves dryer fabric breathability, reduces paper web breaks, and enhances paper quality and productivity.

2. Water Jet Reel Turn Up System
Reel turn-up efficiency is critical to overall paper machine productivity. Meixin's Water Jet Reel Turn Up System uses high-pressure water cutting technology to achieve automatic reel turn up:
Benefits: Significantly shortens roll changing time, achieves safe and efficient automated reel turn up, reduces manual intervention, and improves operational safety.

3. Dry End Water Knife
Precision in edge cutting and tail threading at the dry end directly affects production efficiency:
Benefits: Cleans edge cuts with electric auto-positioning capability, enabling stable tail cutting and threading operations. This significantly improves paper machine operational stability and reduces the risk of web breaks.

Since its successful startup at the end of 2025, the China Forest Paper PM8 machine equipped with Meixin's complete cleaning and auxiliary systems has maintained stable operation. Customer feedback indicates: excellent maintenance of dryer fabric breathability, significantly improved reel turn-up efficiency, smooth and stable tail threading operations, and all production indicators meeting or exceeding design expectations.
This project success further solidifies Meixin's position in supporting medium-to-large-scale domestic paper machines and demonstrates Meixin's ability to provide complete solutions for purely Chinese-made paper machines.
