BO PAPER PISA, Brazil, orders complete recycled paper stock preparation line from ANDRITZ

With over 40 years of experience, the BO PAPER Group is the largest producer of high-performance thermomechanical fiber papers in Latin America. Traditionally focused on the graphic and editorial markets, the company is now taking a strategic step by expanding its portfolio with packaging papers, integrating recycled fibers into its production process.

ANDRITZ’s scope of supply includes:

• A complete low-consistency pulper system and an innovative reject removal system to ensure efficient disintegration of raw material with minimal fiber loss
• Cleaning, fractionation, and screening stages including PrimeScreen X technology with the newly developed PrimeRotor for high screening efficiency with lower energy consumption
• An innovative reject treatment system with a reject compactor for dewatering to the highest possible dry content, reducing the need for plastic transportation
• Supervision of assembly, commissioning, start-up, and training

From the beginning of the project, ANDRITZ has worked closely with BO PAPER, providing basic engineering to support decision-making and investment evaluation. This collaborative approach enabled the development of a tailored, robust solution aligned with BO PAPER’s specific needs and strategic objectives.

The value of the order will not be disclosed. It is included in ANDRITZ’s order intake for the first quarter of 2025.

This project reinforces ANDRITZ’s position as a reliable and strategic partner in delivering high-performance technological solutions for the pulp and paper industry, contributing to the sector’s sustainable development.
