This is the second old corrugated cardboard (OCC) line from ANDRITZ in operation at this United Paper mill.

The new line – complete from pulping to the storage tower – has a capacity of 550 bdmt/d and processes a mixture of AOCC and LOCC for the production of high-quality linerboard grades.

The LC pulping system, with FibreSolve FSR pulper and innovative Detrasher, ensures superior slushing of the raw material at minimum fiber loss, as well as highly efficient separation and removal of rejects.

In combination with PrimeScreen X screen baskets, energy savings of up to 25 percent compared to conventional systems are achieved.

Together with the ANDRITZ fiber experts, the execution of the entire project was smooth, fast, and highly professional. The two lines from ANDRITZ are equipped with separate drums and LC pulpers, which gives us more flexibility in the use of raw materials. We can’t wait to expand our business with our new premium grades, said Wachara Chinsettawong, Managing Director at United Paper.
