ANDRITZ will deliver a FibreFlow Drum pulper with a maximum feed capacity of 1,400 t/d, various fibre cleaning equipment, and a spray water treatment system for the production of various board grades.
“The drum pulper is the first of its kind in Australia,” said Jean Yves Nouaze, Executive General Manager Pulp & Paper, Visy. “This upgrade will increase our capacity to process up to an additional 95,000 tonnes of wastepaper per year, to be made into new products here in Victoria. We thank ANDRITZ for partnering with Visy and working collaboratively on this critical project.”
The ANDRITZ drum pulping system enables Visy Paper to process a demanding special raw material mix consisting of household wastepaper and Australian OCC (Old Corrugated Containers) with a reject content of up to 25%. The project features the following technological highlights:
- FibreFlow Drum with longer and reinforced design to ensure gentle pulping of the demanding raw material mix and efficient removal of coarse contaminants at minimum fiber loss
- Innovative PrimeScreen X for spray water treatment
- New RB450 cleaner to enable superior removal of glass fragments
Visy paper mill in Coolaroo is part of the Visy Group and produces plasterboard liner for the building industry as well as white and brown liner grades from 100% recycled content.
