Hyogo Pulp Industries Ltd., Japan, has ordered a Metso (Finland) pulp drying line for its mill in Tanigawa, Japan. Startup of the line is planned for the last quarter of 2014. The value of the order was not disclosed.
Metso's scope of supply includes a pulp drying line excluding the building and civil works. The main parts of the delivery are a wet end, a pulp dryer, a cutter layboy, and a baling line.
Hyogo Pulp has been shifting from market pulp production with a wet lap machine for domestic supply into exporting pulp to China, Korea, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. The company thus needed to change to production of fully dried pulp. The capacity of the new pulp drying line will be 770 air dried metric tpd. The width at the cutter layboy is 3.9 meters.
Hyogo Pulp Industries is a family-owned company founded in 1955. It is located in Tanba city, Hyogo prefecture, Japan. The company is the only producer of various types of unbleached kraft market pulp in Japan and leads the unbleached kraft pulp market in East Asia.The company's annual capacity is 200,000 metric tons, and it has 140 employees. The company also provides biomass energy to a regional energy company.
