Entering the high-end food packaging market
Fujian Kebao Metal Products Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Fujian Sanbao Group, has commissioned SMS group to supply two tinplate continuous annealing lines (TIN CALs) at their facility in Zhangzhou, China. This project supports Kebao's expansion into the high-end, food-grade tinplate market.
The lines are designed for high-speed production of tinplate strip, handling thicknesses from 0.12 to 0.55 mm and widths from 700 to 1,300 mm, with a process speed of up to 750 m/min. The total annual capacity is approximately 800,000 tons. The scope of supply includes advanced Drever furnace technology, with its integration ensuring efficient and reliable thermal processing. Additionally, the installation of a double cold reduction mill (DCR) and a twin-stand skin pass mill (SPM) inline enhances strip quality, meeting the stringent requirements of the food packaging industry for high-end tinplate.
This project reflects the strong cooperation between SMS group and Sanbao Group. We reached a significant milestone by completing the negotiations in an exceptionally short period. This efficiency sets the foundation for delivering high-quality installations that will enable Fujian Kebao to meet the demands of this competitive market.
