The Italian manufacturer of recycled containerboard plans to launch the system with a design capacity of 1650 bdmt per day by mid-2025. The line will include Europe’s largest FibreFlow drum pulper
“The new equipment from ANDRITZ, as well as helping us to recover more water, will help us capture, clean and use fibres that would normally get rejected in the paper making process, so they can be once again used in our recycling loops,” says Stefano Andreotti, Project Manager at DS Smith.
The new stock preparation line will process various types of raw material, such as OCC (old corrugated containers), mixed papers and board as well as new shavings of corrugated board. It will be used on the new DS Smith Porcari paper machine, due to start up mid-2025, that will provide a range of paper grades for the FMCG and e-commerce sectors serviced by DS Smith.
Apart from a FibreFlow drum pulper with a pulping zone diameter of 4,500 mm and a total drum length of 50,000 mm – the largest of this type in Europe – for gentle pulping of the raw material mix and efficient removal of coarse contaminants, the system will include nine PrimeScreen X screens with rotor design providing high screening efficiency at low energy consumption and decent stock quality, and two PrimeFilter D filters to handle higher feed consistencies and higher-freeness pulp, even in the most demanding applications.
