Andritz will relocate and upgrade a fiberline for Yueyang Forest & Paper to produce premium quality fibers for its new paper machine. The P-RC APMP (Pre-Conditioning Refiner Chemical Alkaline Peroxide Mechanical Pulp) line was originally supplied by Andritz in 2011 to the mill in Yuanjiang city, Hunan province. Andritz will now transfer it to Yueyang city, Hunan province, where it will process mixed hardwood for the production of printing and writing papers.
By adding new high-efficiency equipment and refurbishing existing machines, the upgrade will raise the line’s minimum design capacity to 650 admt/d and improve fiber quality while saving energy and chemicals. Start-up is scheduled for the second half of 2024.
