Record kraft pulp production for Celbi mill


by Andritz, pulp producer Celbi, part of the Altri group, set a production world record of 2,456 admt in a day at its Leirosa mill, Portugal, in March. This was the equivalent of achieving a drying capacity of 503.3 tons per day per metre across the working sheet width of 4.88 metres. Based on these results, Andritz


F


says it would be possible to produce more than 5,000 admt/d on a single line with a 10-metre working width or an annual drying capacity of more than 1.5 million tons on a single line. The Leirosa mill was started up successfully after extensive reconstruction in 2015 and has achieved several production

records since then. The performance improvement was enabled by Andtriz pulp drying technology, including a Twin Wire Former and shoe press equipment. Celbi is one of the most


efficient global producers of


eucalyptus pulp, with an installed production capacity of 790,000 admt per year, and is recognised worldwide for its high-quality products and excellent customer service. The Celbi mill was acquired by Altri in 2006 from Stora Enso.


Biomass handling system for Eldorado Brasil from Andritz


Eldorado Brasil has ordered a biomass handling system from Andritz for its new Onça Pintada plant at Três Lagoas. Start-up is scheduled for the third quarter of 2020. The new plant will generate


energy by using biomass from eucalyptus stumps and roots as raw material and will have a capacity to produce around 50 MW of electrical energy for the national grid. Eldorado Brasil is one of the


most advanced and competitive pulp producers in the world. Constructed with a nominal pulp


capacity of 1.5 million tons a year, it exceeded this with an output of 1.7m tons in 2017. The pulp producer has a forest base in Mato Grosso du Sul covering an area of 230,000 hectares where it employs almost 4,000 people. It exports 90 per cent of its products, most (43 per cent ) of which goes to China, 31 per cent to Europe and 10 per cent to North America Its self-managed forests as


well as the energy the company generates from biomass, its reuse of resources, and low carbon footprint are some of


the features that distinguish the company from other industry players. The storage and reclaiming


technologies for biomass utilisation supplied by Andritz will substantially contribute towards Eldorado Brasil’s goal of achieving effective and environmentally- friendly energy solutions. Andritz will supply biomass


receiving with two dumper trucks, a belt conveyor leading to a 270-degree stacker-reclaimer with 40,000 cubic metre storage capacity, and the belt conveyor to the power boiler.

Pöyry to engineer Voith paper making line in Mexico


Voith has awarded Pöyry with a services assignment to carry out the detailed engineering design of its XcelLine paper machine supplied to the Gondi Group in Monterrey, Mexico. The services include all engineering disciplines as well as field engineering, and will be completed by mid-2019. The equipment will have an annual production capacity of 400,000 tons.


The XcelLine paper machine


offers special technical features that improve final paper quality and reduce power consumption. Its annual production capacity is 400,000 tons of Testliner- type packaging paper and corrugated core, with weights between 90 and 250 g/sqm, will increase the capacity of the Gondi Group to 1.1 million tons per year. “This is a complex project with great challenges. We are glad to keep working with Pöyry on it and continuing our successful long-term partnership,” says Hjalmar Fugmann, president of Voith Paper South America. Márcia Mastrocola, director of industrial processes for Latin America at Pöyry, added: “This service is a continuation of the co-operation with Voith and Pöyry, and we are pleased to be able to strengthen our operations in Latin America.”
