ANDRITZ has been awarded an order by Xinxiang Xinya Group Co., Ltd. (Henan Xinhai Paper Co. Ltd.) to supply key equipment, a new automation system, and services for the upgrade of a softwood CTMP line which was transferred from Canada to China. Start-up of the new line, reconfigured by Andritz Pulp & Paper to one of China’s biggest hardwood mechanical pulping systems and based on the patented P-RC APMP technology, is scheduled for the end of 2012.
The pulp produced will be used primarily for board grades; however, the line provides also the possibility to produce printing and writing grades in the future. The line capacity is 700 t/d.
