Kadant Inc., Westford, Mass., USA, this week announced that it has received orders totaling $7 million from two paper producers in North America for chemical pulping equipment and a recycled fiber processing line. Kadant did not identify the paper producers.
The chemical pulping equipment will be used to recover chemicals in the kraft pulping process and the recycled fiber processing system for the production of linerboard. The orders were booked in the fourth quarter of 2015 and are expected to ship in 2016.
"We are pleased to have been selected to supply the fiber processing system for these significant projects which reinforces our leading position in both chemical pulping equipment and recycled fiber processing systems used in the production of packaging," said Jonathan W. Painter, president and CEO of Kadant.
