P.T. Aspex Kumbong, Indonesia, has ordered a stock preparation rebuild for its Cileungsi mill in Indonesia. The project, to be supplied and handled by Andritz, Austria, will boost the quality of stock for the paper machines at Cileungsi, allowing the mill to shift production to more value-added paper products, in addition to newsprint. Startup is scheduled for the second quarter of 2011.

Andritz will supply loop No. 1 equipment for the mill’s deinked pulp (DIP) No1 line. The new equipment, which can handle a total capacity of 300 metric tpd, consists of a FibreFlow drum pulper, AhlCleaner, retrofits of existing screens with Bar TecW screen baskets and RoTec Dolphin rotors, SelectaFlot flotation cells, a disc filter, CompaDis dispersing system, and a bleaching tower discharge system. The order also includes advanced basic engineering, site installation supervision, startup, and training services.
