Indonesia’s PT Sun Paper Source (PT SPS) has successfully started up two new tissue machines – PM18 and PM19 – at its Ngoro mill.
PM18 commenced production on 24 January followed by PM19 on 6 February.
Initially planned as a four-machine expansion, the project has now been upgraded to five machines to meet growing market demand.
The remaining three machines are currently under installation and will begin operation sequentially in the end of April.
The five new machines are designed with a speed of 1,800 metres per minute with a fully deckle of 2,880mm.
Once fully operational, all units will be integrated with fully automated converting lines, enhancing efficiency and production capabilities.
With this expansion, PT Sun Paper Source reaffirms its commitment to strengthening its market position and delivering high-quality tissue products to both domestic and international customers.
The company was unable to disclose the machinery suppliers at this time.
