Rebuild for Leipa Georg Leinfelder’s deinking plant at Schwedt


L


eipa Georg Leinfelder has ordered components from Andritz for the rebuild


of the screening system in the DIP1 deinking plant at its Schwedt mill in Germany. The rebuild, scheduled for completion in October 2014, is intended to achieve significant


energy savings and also to further reduce losses in the screening plant. The job includes the


complete rebuild of the coarse screening plant, including a new tail screen and delivery of a new first stage for slot screening. Andritz says that a particular challenge in this


rebuild project is the short shutdown time of only 72 hours for switching over to the new components and restarting the plant.


The pulp produced by Leipa


Georg Leinfelder will be used to make the top layer for white coated liner and for magazine paper grades.

the mill to produce four-ply containerboard. Privately-owned Dong Il Paper
