Finland-headed energy and forest industry technology major Valmet Oyj has announced that it will supply two "Defibrator" systems to the Baishida Group in China, one to Heze Baishida Wood, and another one to Jiangsu Ronghui Wood. The start-up of the two systems is planned for spring 2020.
Baishida Group is one of the largest companies in fiberboard business in China and the headquarter is located in Jining City, Shandong Province. Baishida has 8 branch mills and the total production capacity of fiberboard is about 1 million m³ per year. The products are mainly used for floors and furniture.
We have good experiences with Valmet’s Defibrator systems. This will bring us big advantages in our production performance and improve the quality in our products, said Chen Zenghua, Sales Director at Baishida Group.
Heze Baishida Wood and Ronghui Wood are medium density fibreboard (MDF) mills, belonging to the Baishida Group. The value of the orders has not been disclosed.
With the new Defibrator system, we will be able to increase our production capacity. Valmet is also our preferred supplier for future investments, said Zhu Yongbiao, one of the owners at Jiangsu Ronghui Wood.
Valmet’s scope of supply includes an EVO 50 System. The Defibrator system is an essential part of a fiberboard line. The material from Valmet’s system has a minimum of shives and low fines content, which is a prerequisite for successful fiberboard production.
We have a long relationship with Baishida Group, and it is a win-win situation with these two new orders. Valmet has the machinery with the best performance, and next Evolution Defibrator (EVO) user meeting in September will be at Baishida site in Shandong, China, said Leif Sundberg, Sales Manager, Pulp and Energy, Valmet.
