The ANDRITZ FibreGuard LC pulping and detrashing system will be installed in both recycled paper lines. Andritz will deliver the OCC (old corrugated containers) line for the top ply; MW (mixed waste) line for the back ply; paper machine approach system including Shortflow Deaeration; as well as the broke handling, fiber recovery, and reject handling systems. The scope of supply also includes engineering, erection supervision, start-up, commissioning, and training. Start-up is scheduled for September 2017.
A statement from Andritz says the state-of-the-art equipment supplied by Andritz fits with Pro-Gest’s requirements for high-speed paper production. The paper machine is targeted to produce 550,000 tons of fluting per year from 100 per cent waste paper.
Owned by the Zago family, Pro-Gest is Italy’s leading vertically integrated producer of packaging in corrugated board. The Group also includes an integrated tissue manufacturing division.
