As tissue mills seek to optimize their energy consumption for optimum sustainability, ANDRITZ’ introduction of a hood air system based on electrical heating is very timely

Simple and smart – In further efforts towards maximizing efficiencies of white liquor plants, ANDRITZ has developed LimeDry-H™.

Avoiding accidents and unplanned downtime through the highest safety standards is one of the foundations of today’s high-speed tissue production. The industry’s safety measures and concepts already went hand in hand with the constant increase of machine performance and capacities.

In the search for maximal safety in recovery boiler operation, ANDRITZ has developed its state-of-the-art Metris Water Leakage Advisor (WLA) to reduce the risk of explosions in the furnace of the boiler. Smurfit Kappa Nettingsdorf in Austria is the first mill to receive delivery of the WLA and has been instrumental in the co-development of the new solution.

Meeting Smurfit Kappa’s Environmental and Sustainability Goals! Packaging giant Smurfit Kappa is extremely cautious and demanding when it comes to making sure sustainability goals are met in its operations, often going above and beyond when it comes to meeting environmental regulations. The company recently embarked on its biggest investment program ever – the Future Energy Project – at its Nettingsdorf mill in Austria. ANDRITZ was chosen to supply key technology in order to achieve its sustainability ambitions.

Brazilian pulp giant Suzano is not only the world’s largest producer of eucalyptus pulp, it is also a dynamic innovator, intent on taking advantage of the new wave of environmentally sound products that are possible from eucalyptus-based hardwood pulp. ANDRITZ and Suzano teamed up on an ambitious project to convert an existing paper machine to make fluff pulp.

The new PrimeClean TO is the latest innovation in cleaners from ANDRITZ. The “TO” designation comes from the fact that it combines two cleaning stages in one unit (two-in-one). Thanks to its innovative reject chamber design, the PrimeClean TO is ideal for removing sand and small particle debris from approach flow stock and recycled fiber processing lines at higher feed consistencies. The first systems have been sold and start-up is planned for early next year.

We are in the middle of a massive digital transformation in all areas of our lives – at home, at work, even in our cars – as digitalization fully enters our lives. The pulp industry has by no means been ignored, and now there are already promising results being seen at pulp mills as the latest in Metris Digital Solutions from ANDRITZ bring major advantages to process islands.
