Services for wood handling and wood processing

The challenge

To raise the overall production efficiency, maximum availability, and yield of wood processing plant while minimizing losses.

The solution

ANDRITZ offers engineered services for your wood handling and processing plant. Pulp quality is highly dependent on the quality of the fiber entering the process. Correct and uniform chip size is critical to pulping success. This requires well-adjusted equipment and well-defined maintenance and operating procedures. It can also be enhanced with the correct automation systems (instruments and controls).

It is essential that all maintenance and operating procedures are defined before start-up of the plant, and then updated as needed. Working in collaboration with your team, we support you by helping you evaluate your wood processing plant and then recommending high-payback improvement actions, such as tuning, repairs, upgrades, equipment replacement, or process optimization. ANDRITZ PULP & PAPER offers you a range of value-added services, from replacement parts to contract maintenance agreements, to ensure the Overall Production Efficiency (OPE) of your wood processing operations – with optimized processes and productivity from your equipment.
