Synthetic fibers industry plant contractor Zimmer AG has been awarded a contract for the supply of further polyester staple fiber (PSF) plant to Fujian Jinlun Petrochemical Fiber Industry Co Ltd. This customer is one of the biggest companies in the Chinese staple fiber industry.
The plant, located in the Binhai Industry Zone Changle, Fujian Province, is out-layed for a production capacity of 200 tons/day staple fibers in one line using Zimmer's latest and proven spinning and staple fiber production technology.
The fiber production line designed by Fleissner GmbH, an affiliate of Zimmer AG, will be equipped with one of the world's largest crimper for an economical and high-quality production.
The Frankfurt based engineering and construction company provides the technology, engineering and key equipment and is responsible for the supervision of erection and start-up of the plant, scheduled at the beginning of 2007.
In mid 2005 at the same site Zimmer successfully commissioned and handed over China's first running 200 tons/day staple fiber lines to Fujian Jinlun. By starting the new line, Jinlun will operate a total production capacity of 600 tons/day. The good co-operation and the quality of the produced fibers were the decisive factor for choosing again Zimmer's technology.
Zimmer is a company of GEA Group. GEA is a globally successful technology group with operating companies in around 50 countries. The company focuses on specialty mechanical engineering – especially process engineering and equipment – and plant engineering.
