Andritz received an order from Taishan Gypsum for delivery of a FibreFlow drum pulper to the paper mill in Tai’an City, Shandong province, China. The mill produces high-quality mask paper for gypsum board. Start-up is scheduled for March 2014.
Low energy consumption, exceptionally high availability, and low operating costs of the FibreFlow system (capacity: 800 t/d) were decisive factors in the award of this order. Andritz’s scope of supply also includes engineering, erection work supervision, start-up, training, as well as a spare and wear part package.
The raw material treated by Taishan Gypsum consists of one-half LOCC (Local Old Corrugated Containers) and one-half AOCC (American Old Corrugated Containers). The Andritz FibreFlow drum pulper is used for pulping all kinds of recycled paper grades – slushing of paper and separation of contaminants are handled in a single unit.
