SCA Hygiene Products GmbH, Sweden, has ordered from Andritz, Austria, equipment for the expansion of its deinking plant serving PM 4 at its Ortmann mill in Austria. Startup is scheduled for June 2012. The deinked pulp will be used to produce toilet tissue.

 The scope of supply includes a complete dispersing and high-consistency bleaching stage (screw press, CompaDis disperser, and high-consistency bleach tower with a screw conveyor transport system), rebuild of the low-consistency cleaner plant and disc filter, process pumps, installation, startup, and training.

This investment and the expansion to a two-loop deinking system will give the mill a significant brightness increase in its tissue grades that are produced entirely from wastepaper. In addition, it will be possible to replace bright wastepaper grades currently used with raw materials having lower ash content and further improve water management of the deinking plant.
