On September 4, 2025, the TM3 Crescent Former Double-Yankee multifunction tissue machine, custom-designed by Baotuo Paper Machinery for Hongze Lake Paper, was successfully put into operation. This is the third tissue machine delivered by Baotuo to Hongze Lake Paper, marking another important step for both parties in deepening cooperation and jointly expanding the high-end tissue market.
Unlike the two earlier BC1500-2850 Crescent Former machines (commissioned in 2021 and 2023, respectively), the newly started machine is a tailor-made Crescent Former Double-Yankee multifunction production line developed by Baotuo to align precisely with Hongze Lake Paper’s product strategy. Designed for premium commercial wiping paper production, it offers outstanding production flexibility and energy performance, enabling efficient and fast grade change between low-basis-weight toilet tissue and hand towel. The machine not only excels in sheet formation and ease of operation but also features a wide basis weight range (11–45 g/m²). It significantly reduces electricity and steam consumption per ton of paper, helping the customer achieve both energy savings and quality improvement. The successful operation of TM3 also demonstrates Baotuo’s innovation strength and technical reliability in the field of multifunction tissue machines.
Founded in 2005 and located in Huai’an Hongze Economic Development Zone, Hongze Lake Paper has long been committed to the R&D and production of differentiated household paper. The smooth startup of TM3 is not only a key measure for Hongze Lake Paper to optimize its product structure and strengthen its market segmentation strategy, but also another example of its precise alignment with market demand.
