Latest Developments
Andritz has received an order from Knauf to rebuild the KM 2 board machine.
The rebuild includes the supply of a new wire section with three PrimeForm SW Fourdrinier wires and new PrimeFlow SW headboxes, one of which contains a PrimeProfiler F consistency profiling system.
Andritz will also supply the main components in the approach flow systems for the top, filler and back layers at KM 2. The scope of supply comprises several ModuScreen HB-E screens, which combine the lowest energy requirements with minimum pulsations at lowest fibre loss. A new Andritz couch pit pulper will manage broke handling. To significantly improve water management of the mill, a fibre recovery system with an Andritz save-all disc filter will be installed.
