New Paper Machines

New-made machines and new supplementary equipment.

When reliability or a specific specification matters more than first cost, new or new-mixed is the right path. LANCY sources new complete lines and new key components from vetted Chinese manufacturers.

New complete lines

For greenfield projects where a matched, warranted line reduces commissioning risk.

New components

Drives, rolls, headboxes, electricals and controls — often the highest-leverage part of a mixed upgrade.

Mixed packages

A sound used frame plus new drives and controls: faster start-up than full new, at a fraction of the cost.

Tell us your target grade, capacity and GSM and we will scope new vs mixed options.

Common questions

New or used — which is right for my project?

Used wins on first cost and speed when a suitable machine exists. New wins when you need a specific width, speed or grade, a warranty, or financing. Many buyers land in between: a sound used frame with new drives and controls.

How long does a new paper machine take to deliver?

A complete new line is typically 8–14 months from contract to start-up, depending on width and configuration. New key components on their own are usually much faster and are the usual choice for an upgrade.

Can I combine a used frame with new parts?

Yes. A used frame with new drives, headbox or controls often gives most of the reliability benefit of a new machine at a fraction of the cost and lead time. We scope both options side by side when we quote.

Do new Chinese machines meet export requirements?

Vetted manufacturers can supply CE or UL-compliant electricals and controls, full documentation, and English manuals. Specify the standard you need at the enquiry stage so it is priced in rather than added later.
