International technology group Andritz has received an order from PT. Pabrik Kertas Indonesia (PT. Pakerin) to rebuild two existing OCC (old corrugated containers) lines for its mill in Surabaya, Indonesia.
The modernization will considerably improve pulp quality to produce more competitive products with higher operational efficiency and reduced energy consumption. The capacity of both lines will be increased to 500 t/d, utilizing 100% imported OCC as raw material.
To meet the unique characteristics of PT. Pakerin's raw material, Andritz will install two of its patented FibreFlow drum pulpers, which will replace the existing LC (low consistency) pulpers. The FibreFlow drum pulper provides efficient and gentle pulping of low-grade furnish, transforming it into high-quality pulp while minimizing fiber loss. The technology also excels in removing coarse contaminants, and the single drum machine design ensures optimal availability and requires minimal maintenance, resulting in very low operating costs.
The Andritz scope of supply also comprises a new two stage high-density cleaning system and a new coarse screening setup.
Additionally, Andritz will provide the basic engineering, erection supervision, commissioning, startup assistance and training. Startup is scheduled for September 2024.
