Modern pumping solutions for maximum efficiency


Pöls in Austria, technology group ANDRITZ also delivered a complete pumping concept. State-of-the-art process pumps


A


s part of the project to build the new PM2 kraft paper machine at Zellstoff


New standards in terms of efficiency, flexibility, and design have been set for the process pumps installed by ANDRITZ at Zellstoff Pöls. PPL reports


were installed to meet the highest quality standards and contribute towards efficient use of fibres and energy.


The ANDRITZ headbox pump operating at the new PM2 kraft paper machine at Zellstoff Pöls provides a very high efficiency of 92 per cent. With extremely low pulsation, it ensures excellent formation of the kraft paper sheet.


September/October 2015


Installed in 2013, the new PM2 at Zellstoff Pöls, part of the Heinzel Group, is the largest and newest speciality paper machine in Europe. The order was for ANDRITZ to supply a PrimeLine plant for production of high-quality Starkraft branded kraft paper, including stock preparation, the approach flow system, the entire Fourdrinier paper machine, a high-precision drying cylinder, and the complete automation system. In addition, ANDRITZ also supplied all of the process pumps, to ensure maximum efficiency. The €115 million investment increased the total paper production capacity to 80,000 tons per year.


ANDRITZ process pumps are characterized by high efficiencies of up to 90 per cent. These pumps have a modular design and are easy to service, making them very popular in various areas of pulp and paper production.


Producing pulp at high quality levels The Pöls pulp mill is the largest manufacturer of bleached ECF long-fibre sulphate in central and south east Europe. Each year it produces 430,000 tons of pulp and processes two million cubic metres of wood, with primarily carbon- dioxide-neutral processes. The mill has two stock


preparation lines: the first feeds long-fibre pulp produced at the mill to the paper machine, while the second supplies short-fibre pulp to the pulp cycle. In this way, PM2
