THE CHALLENGE

Spiraling costs and  overrunning budgets

Cost certainty from concept to startup is critical when investing in a new plant.

If not managed properly, this can lead to:

• Delays and missed project milestones
• Increased change order and rework
• Higher total investment and lower ROI

HOW ANDRITZ HELPS

Fewer cost overruns and budget risks

ANDRITZ delivers integrated project execution with defined scope, early engineering validation, and transparent cost controls that result in fewer interfaces and reduces change orders.  

• Integrated project execution to stay within scope and budget
• Early engineering validation to mitigate issues before commissioning begins
• Transparent cost controls to improve budget predictability and reduce risk

THE CHALLENGE

Slow to get the required performance

If plants cannot be up and running fast it can reduce confidence and eliminate cash flow.

Delays in delivering the required tons per hour on real formulas can lead to:

• Eroded confidence from buyers
• Low revenue in early months
• Slow ROI from initial investment

HOW ANDRITZ HELPS

Guaranteed throughput and performance validation

With hundreds of reference installations globally, ANDRITZ designs for guaranteed performance and validates capacity through proven process layouts to maximize plant performance.

• Using proven layouts helps to achieve target throughput and production goals
• Integrating reliable equipment lays the foundation for dependable performance
• Commissioning teams remain engaged to optimize performance and support smoother operational ramp-up

THE CHALLENGE

Ongoing equipment challenges

Premature equipment failures, due to wear or lack of maintenance don’t just increase your overall costs.

They can also lead to:

• Reduction in output quality
• Continuous downtime
• Delays to output timelines and delivery dates

HOW ANDRITZ HELPS

Equipment longevity 

We match wear materials, hammer patterns, and die specifications to your specific formulations from day one, and provide ongoing maintenance plans needed to maximize long-term value.

• Optimized performance with the best components for your formulations
• Reduced unplanned downtime with less premature wear and failure
• Extended equipment lifetime through better maintenance planning

THE CHALLENGE

Difficulty meeting compliance

It’s critical that your plant meets the necessary regulatory requirements to keep staff and products safe.

Any design flaws can lead to:

• Regulatory fines
• Reputational damage
• Safety risks

HOW ANDRITZ HELPS

Product safety and compliance assurance

As a global leader in process solutions and technology, ANDRITZ helps to ensure you remain 100% compliant.

• Plant designs aligned to modern safety and operational requirements
• Hygienic processes to help protect product quality and reduce contamination risks
• Visibility, traceability, and control across production and quality processes

THE CHALLENGE

Preparing for tomorrow

Your current plant capacity may not be enough tomorrow, and investments made today might not prepare you for future demands.

Restrictive plant designs can lead to:

• Costly and challenging integration in the future
• Lower ROI as innovation and evolution occurs
• Restriction in your plant’s ability to scale

HOW ANDRITZ HELPS

Future expansion preparation

ANDRITZ plans layouts with expansion in mind, delivering a plant control system that is scalable, and adaptable for your future expansion needs.

• Scalable layouts are designed to support capacity increases
• Infrastructure and equipment are selected to accommodate future enhancements
• Flexible control systems and automation platforms to grow alongside your operation

THE CHALLENGE

Slow to reach optimum performance

New plants can struggle to reach stable production quickly, with continual outgoings eating into your bottom line.

Running at sub-optimal levels can lead to:

• Damaging impacts on revenue
• Failure to meet customer demands early
• Delays in operational ability and capacity 

HOW ANDRITZ HELPS

Faster ramp-up

ANDRITZ helps accelerate the journey from commissioning to stable production through digital simulation, operator readiness, and hands-on optimization.

• Digital twin validation refines processes before the plant becomes operational
• Operator training is delivered in digital environments ahead of start-up
• Structured ramp-up support and process tuning helps stabilize production faster

A feasibility study is where we turn your business ambition into a realistic plant concept. We assess market needs, raw materials, site conditions, utilities, capacity targets, recipes, and investment scope — so the project starts with a clear technical and commercial foundation

The right model depends on what matters most to your business: customization, speed, flexibility, or proven repeatability. Turnkey gives you one responsible project approach; modular solutions reduce installation complexity and support future flexibility; pre-designed solutions accelerate delivery where a proven concept fits your needs

Performance starts before start-up. We validate the process before commissioning, resolve issues early, and align engineering, automation, installation, and commissioning so your plant can reach target performance faster

Yes. We design with future growth in mind, so additional capacity or capabilities can be added later with minimal disruption

The biggest risks are unclear interfaces, supplier coordination issues, design gaps, and commissioning delays. By acting as a single partner and validating the full process upfront, we help reduce these risks and create one clear line of accountability

We translate your production goals into a practical plant concept and investment scope, giving you clarity on capacity, risks, cost drivers, and expected ROI before you commit

We design the plant as one integrated system — process, equipment, automation, and service — so performance, uptime, energy use, and maintenance are optimized from the start, not added later
