International technology group Andritz has received orders from Naturheld GmbH to supply two fiber preparation systems for its new production line in Grafenwöhr, Germany. With this project, Naturheld is also entering the insulation material sector. Start-up is scheduled for the second half of 2022.
Andritz’s scope of supply comprises two lines with a state-of-the-art pressurized refining system, each featuring a capacity of up to 10 t/h and including the following technological highlights:
- Plug Screw Feeder for optimum dewatering prior to refining and advanced wear protection for longer screw lifetime.
- C-Feeder for constant feeding of wood chips to the HC refiner and stable operation over the entire capacity range.
- 44-1CP refiner for production of high-quality fibers with lowest possible energy consumption.
The systems will process a mixture of spruce and pine wood chips from Naturheld’s own wood processing plant, producing premium fiber material for flexible and hard insulation board as well as for blown-in insulation.
Andritz Pulp & Paper provides equipment, systems, complete plants and services for the production of all types of pulp, paper, board and tissue.
