ANDRITZ successfully starts up new COMPACT PRESS at BillerudKorsnäs’ Gruvön mill in Sweden

2021/12/07

International technology group ANDRITZ has successfully started up the first ANDRITZ COMPACT PRESS wash press at BillerudKorsnäs’ Gruvön mill located in Värmland, Sweden.

Final acceptance was received in September 2021.

With its small footprint, high availability and extremely effective washing efficiency, the COMPACT PRESS is well known in the pulp industry. Successful start-up and completion of the project was a result of the ongoing, close cooperation between ANDRITZ and BillerudKorsnäs. ANDRITZ also supplied a DD-Washer, MC pumps and a pulp Screw Press for a new brownstock washing sideline in 2019.

BillerudKorsnäs is a leading player for liquid packaging board and a global leader in the production of high-porosity sack paper manufactured from primary fibers. In Europe, the company holds a leading position for primary fiber-based kraft paper, fluting and pure white liner and is also one of the largest producers of cartonboard from primary fibers.
