Fitting firmly into the ANDRITZ CircleToZero™ initiative, the HQ-Press bark press has evolved into a “must have” at pulp mills as it lowers carbon footprint, saves on energy costs, and considerably improves power boiler efficiency.

UPM’s Paso de los Toros pulp mill started up in central Uruguay in 2023 and is now in the process of ramping up to its design capacity of 2.1 million tonnes a year. ANDRITZ was chosen once again as the turnkey supplier after the positive experience with its technology at UPM’s first mill in the country, Fray Bentos, which started up 16 years ago.

n a groundbreaking project, ANDRITZ modernized the KM3 board machine at MM Frohnleiten GmbH, Europe’s leading cartonboard manufacturer.

There is nothing like a world-beating challenge to keep design and production engineers at the top of their game. Bracell’s Project Star, situated in Lençóis Paulista, São Paulo state, Brazil, certainly provided ANDRITZ pulp technology experts with a host of challenges, and, as usual, world class solutions were provided.
