Strategic Partnership for Sustainable Manufacturing
The partnership between ANDRITZ and Lipy Paper Mills represents more than just a technology transfer—it's a commitment to sustainable paper manufacturing in Bangladesh. Located in Changine, Modonpur, Kanchpur, Sonargaon, the new facility will process Local OCC (Old Corrugated Cardboard) and Mixed Office Waste as raw materials for producing testliner, writing, and printing paper.
Advanced Technology Features
The ANDRITZ RCF lines incorporate state-of-the-art technology designed for maximum efficiency and minimal environmental impact. The energy-saving screening and flotation systems ensure optimal fiber recovery while reducing operational costs. The Ultra High Dispersion technology maintains low steam demand, making the operation both economically and environmentally sustainable.
Industry Impact and Future Outlook
This installation marks a significant milestone for Bangladesh's paper industry, demonstrating the country's commitment to adopting advanced, sustainable manufacturing technologies. The project is scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2023, positioning Lipy Paper Mills as a pioneer in recycled fiber processing in the region.
"ANDRITZ convinced us because of its energy-saving technology for screening and flotation and its focus on minimum fiber loss. In addition, with the Ultra High Dispersion we'll be able to keep steam demand at a low level."
