OREANDA-NEWS. April 08, 2011. Two P-RC APMP mechanical pulping lines delivered by Andritz to APP’s mill in Jingui, Guangxi Province, China, have been started up in record time, as the company said in a press release received by Lesprom Network.

The guaranteed production of 750 admt/d was achieved within only 2.5 months for line #1 and 1.5 months for line #2. This sets production records for single mechanical pulping lines in China.

The lines at Jingui process eucalyptus fiber from plantations. A remarkable aspect is that the mechanical pulping lines operate totally free of silicates within the bleaching process. Effluents are recovered to reduce the environmental impact. White liquor is retrieved in the chemical recovery cycle and reused in the mechanical pulping process to a very large extent, resulting in a significant reduction in operating costs.

Andritz Pulp & Paper is one of the leading global suppliers of turnkey systems and services for the production of all types of pulp, paper, tissue paper, board, fiber-board (MDF), nonwovens, as well as of biomass boilers and gasifiers for energy production and of systems for the production of plastic films.
