Guangxi Chongzuo Lelin Forestry Development produces first fibers with the world’s largest pressurized refining system

ANDRITZ installed the complete system, from chip washing to refining. It comprises a 74” single-disc refiner with the largest flat refining surface available and highest axial load capacity ever built. With an impressive height of nearly 2.4 meters and a total weight (empty) of 21.7 tons, the HC refiner, type S2074M, is a real giant – built for outstanding production rates.

Wei Rengang, General Manager, Guangxi Chongzuo Lelin Forestry Development, says: “The entire line, and especially our new HC refiner is really impressive – not only because of its dimensions. It has already shown very promising performance. Our thanks go to ANDRITZ for their hard work and the exceptionally good collaboration.”

Guangxi Chongzuo Lelin Forestry Development Co. Ltd. is part of the Lelin Group, headquartered in Nanning, Guangxi, which has been focusing on wood-based panel production for nearly 20 years.
