Andritz will deliver a customized upgrade solution including a new shoe press and steam blowbox, an overhaul of the airborne dryer, and safety improvements. The capacity increase in the drying area will support Iggesund Paperboard’s goal to raise its total pulp capacity from 370,000 to 420,000tons per year. In addition, the Andritz upgrade will enhance production stability and further reduce energy costs.
