A great way to confirm the viability of your plant expansion is with an ANDRITZ plant assessment.
Here’s how we can help you get it right from day one:
THE CHALLENGE
Increasing your overall power and resource consumption can create difficulties in monitoring and tracking usage.
This lack of visibility can lead to:
HOW ANDRITZ HELPS
The ANDRITZ Metris platform continuously analyzes plant data, using alarms, trends, and analytics to flag deviations.
THE CHALLENGE
Expanding a plant can lead to changes in processes and outputs that introduce variability in pelleting.
Unexpected changes in outputs can lead to:
HOW ANDRITZ HELPS
ANDRITZ uses continuous monitoring and automation to maintain consistent product quality by treating conditioning, pelleting, and cooling as a connected process.
THE CHALLENGE
Aging equipment can begin to limit performance, preventing the business from undertaking plant expansion.
Persisting with legacy tech can lead to:
An inability to scale production
Higher maintenance or replacement costs
Business-wide revenue reductions
HOW ANDRITZ HELPS
ANDRITZ extends asset life through targeted upgrades, rebuild programs, and optimized wear components with proven technologies such as the Paladin pellet mill platform.
THE CHALLENGE
Inefficient processes affect more than just your product output and your bottom line.
Left unaddressed, they can lead to:
HOW ANDRITZ HELPS
ANDRITZ helps reduce your operating costs through efficient plant design that helps you control costs over the long term.
THE CHALLENGE
Outdated operational methods and equipment could be negatively impacting your plant and business.
Inefficient processes can lead to:
HOW ANDRITZ HELPS
ANDRITZ helps you improve plant efficiency and productivity without the need for a full overhaul.
THE CHALLENGE
Scaling production to meet new demands brings several challenges.
Lack of space and utility constraints can lead to:
HOW ANDRITZ HELPS
ANDRITZ can help you overcome space and utility constraints to create a clear path for future growth.
Design your plant to your exact specifications from initial concept to installation. We work with you to build your ideal solution.
Select from our proven modular components and plug them together within your new environment. This helps to make installation faster, its easier to expand later and its proven.
We have experience of delivering hundreds of new plants from scratch. We can help you choose from proven designs that are already built and working for similar operations. This can help you save design costs, reduce preparation time and leverage proven performance.
ANDRITZ has a proven track record in delivering plant solutions that reduce the uncertainty and minimize the risk that can happen with a multi-vendor approach. With the right partnership and foundation in place, your plant will operate at the capacity to keep you Always On. Always Ahead.

If you are looking to build a new plant we can help you every step of the way.
We assess utilities, space, material flow, automation interfaces, and production constraints to identify what can be reused and where upgrades are needed — so you avoid surprises during installation
We plan installation and tie-ins in phases so your plant can keep running wherever possible, minimizing disruption and avoiding extended shutdowns
A new line should not operate like a separate island. We connect controls, data flow, and operations so your expanded plant works as one integrated system
The timeline depends on scope, interfaces, site readiness, and shutdown windows. With the right planning and modular approach, expansion projects can often move faster than a full new build
We design expansions with flexibility in mind, so you can scale again later without major redesign or disruption
We identify real bottlenecks and prioritize upgrades that increase throughput while maintaining efficiency — helping you grow output while controlling operating costs
We map interfaces upfront and align mechanical, automation, and data integration so new and existing systems work together seamlessly as one plant
