Divine Land has brought papermaking to the world, and Shandong Province, the "Hometown of Confucius and Mencius", is second to none in the country's papermaking industry.
No. 1 in the country, technological innovation, and transformation to break new ground. What kind of Shandong logic is hidden in a thin piece of paper?
China's papermaking looks at Shandong!
Pulp and paper output ranks first in the country
"Baking is as smooth as jade, and a piece of gold has no doubts." As one of the four great inventions of China, papermaking has been a beautiful treasure of the Chinese nation since its birth. After thousands of years of evolution and development, it has become a an important part of the Chinese economy. It is worth mentioning that Shandong Province, the "Hometown of Confucius and Mencius", is second to none in the national paper industry. In 2021, the Shandong paper industry will produce 5.5 million tons of pulp and 24.739 million tons of machine-made paper and cardboard, ranking first in the country.
Relying on the resource advantages of "a major agricultural province" and "a major industrial province", Shandong has cultivated a number of outstanding paper companies, Chenming Paper, Sun Paper, Bohui Paper, Huatai, etc. Leading listed company.
In 2021, 6 companies including Chenming Paper, Huatai, Sun Paper, Bohui Paper, Asia Pacific Sembo (Shandong), and Century Sunshine will enter the top 20 Chinese paper companies; among them, Chenming Paper, Huatai, Sunshine Four companies from Paper Industry and Century Sunshine entered the world's top 75 paper companies. In addition, Shandong Henglian Investment Group Co., Ltd., Qilu University of Technology, Chenming Paper, Sun Paper, and Huatai Co., Ltd., jointly completed the "Key Technology and Industrialization of Green Preparation and High-value Utilization of High-Performance Wood Chemical Pulp" project won the award. The second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award in 2020 is the only award-winning project in the paper industry.
This proud report card is inseparable from the "chain length system" work promotion mechanism implemented by the paper industry in Shandong Province, which promotes the "upward extension", "intermediate excellence" and "downward expansion" of the industrial chain.
In the acquisition of raw material resources in the upstream of the industrial chain, in order to solve the dilemma of relying heavily on imports of papermaking raw materials, Shandong guides leading and key enterprises to make good use of international and domestic forestry resources. 800,000 mu of forest land provides important support for enterprises to ensure raw materials; Century Sunshine makes full use of wheat straw and other agricultural straw resources to build a 500,000-ton biomechanical pulp project, which is the first large-scale application of biotechnology in the world to prepare straw biomechanical pulp. Substitute imported wood pulp and waste paper.
In the papermaking link in the middle of the industrial chain, Shandong pays more attention to improving the modernization level of enterprises, cultivating and expanding "pilot-type" enterprises, increasing industrial added value, enhancing core competitiveness, and accelerating digital green development. In addition, Shandong has also actively extended its industrial chain to downstream paper products and related fields.
How thick is the sense of technology in a piece of paper?
"Saixi soaks the mulberry in the night moon, knocks on the ice and lifts the curtain to cut the fat evenly." From the poems, we can see the difficulty of papermaking in ancient times. In the severe winter season, soak the mulberry bark in the "cold stream", pound the soaked mulberry bark into pulp in the night moon, and then "knock the ice" to rinse the pulp repeatedly in water, and take a long and wide "curtain" , Make it by hand on the curtain to make the consistency of the mulberry mucus uniform.
However, with the precipitation of time, papermaking has long been a thing full of science and technology, and a piece of
Light Paper has become heavy due to different technological inputs.
Chenming Paper Co., Ltd., known as "the first brother of papermaking", has a national market share of over 30% for
Cultural Paper, and the market share of
Coated Paper and white cardboard ranks among the top three in the country. The self-developed poplar-coated white cardboard, The three major products of Xingzhilian tissue paper and Xingzhilian toilet paper have recently won the national "Green Design Product".
With the increase in the country's efforts to eliminate backward production capacity and the improvement of environmental protection systems, the pace of research and development of green high-end products has gradually accelerated. Sun Paper, located in the southwest of Shandong, has developed the world's first additive-free household paper without adding any chemicals, and its paper has also been identified as special tissue paper by the "Fuxing" high-speed rail and Shandong Airlines. In recent years, with the increasing voice of "high-quality green packaging", Sun Paper has made new articles on food paper. The "plastic-free coated food
Packaging Paper" developed by Sun Paper has been widely used in Hot drink cups, cold drink cups, ice cream, paper lunch boxes and other food packaging paper.
For Huatai, technological innovation has become the norm. Located at the mouth of the Yellow River, Huatai Co., Ltd. has changed the history of domestic high-end newsprint relying on imports. After years of deep cultivation and accumulation, it has become the "world's largest newsprint production base" in one fell swoop. In addition, in order to meet the needs of customers, Huatai Co., Ltd. has continuously innovated raw materials, formulas and processes. After repeated trials, it finally made the world's lightest newsprint. In addition, Huatai Co., Ltd. has promoted the "intelligent manufacturing" model of "one paper machine + multiple products" by introducing international advanced equipment and technology, and has completed the transformation of five newsprint machines with a capacity of 1.5 million, forming the world's leading newsprint, cultural paper, copperplate Five leading production bases for paper,
Specialty Paper and wrapping paper.
Don't be a "paper hero"!
The transformation of Shandong paper enterprises broke new ground
Although the paper industry is a traditional industry, there are new opportunities for transformation hidden everywhere. These leading paper companies from Shandong are bold and innovative, not being "heroes on paper".
In recent years, as the newsprint market has been under the impact of online media, Huatai Co., Ltd., the largest newsprint production base in China, is actively transforming itself, exploring and developing new products and expanding its business into new fields. Today, Huatai Co., Ltd. has independently explored and developed transfer printing paper, a
Special Paper used for garment printing, with an annual production capacity of 20,000 tons and an output value of more than 100 million yuan. In addition, Huatai Co., Ltd. actively develops more than 30 types of paper such as construction template paper and wrapping paper, actively explores new markets, and seeks new directions for enterprise development.
In recent years, Sun Paper has also been non-stop in exploring new paths, focusing on key development areas of new materials. Natural cellulose (dissolving pulp), low-gram weight and high-grade kraft linerboard have become Sun Paper's "goodies". Among them, Sun Paper's annual output of natural cellulose (dissolving pulp) is 800,000 tons, and it is the largest natural cellulose (dissolving pulp) supplier in China and the second in the world. In addition to low gram weight and high strength, low-gram weight high-grade kraft linerboard also has the characteristics of good water resistance and high wet strength. Sun Paper has carried out a special process design for water resistance and moisture resistance in the production process. In terms of packaging design, plastic stretch film can also be used for packaging, which can meet the needs of customers at different levels. It is widely used in the field of packaging, and the annual output has reached 800,000 tons.
Chenming Paper, the "top paper maker", has a long-term vision. Since the beginning of 2000, it has launched the integration of pulp and paper, and has successively built integrated pulp and paper production bases in Zhanjiang, Shouguang and other places. At present, Chenming owns 3 of the 5 major pulp mills in the country, and Chenming owns 3 of the 4 paper machines in the world with a paper width of more than 11 meters.
