Kadant Inc. announced that it will supply paper recycling equipment valued at $3.6 million to global containerboard producer Lee & Man Paper International Ltd. for its new mill in Changsu, China, near Shanghai. The system, designed to recover usable fiber from recovered fiber and prepare it for entry into the paper machine, will be integral to the production of recycled corrugated board at the mill.
This complete stock-preparation system will be supplied by the company's Kadant Black Clawson Inc. subsidiary, and includes equipment for pulping, screening, and cleaning recovered fiber. The order is another in a series of Kadant recycling systems purchased by Lee & Man for a major mill expansion project that will double its production of various types of packaging materials.
"We are pleased that our stock-prep systems have again been selected by Lee & Man - a long-time Kadant customer - to be part of their current mill expansion program," said William A. Rainville, chairman and CEO of Kadant. "As paper producers in China add mill capacity to meet growing demand, Kadant continues to be recognized as a leading supplier of advanced recycling technologies that can play a critical role in the production of top-quality packaging materials."Latest from Recycling Today
