Kadant Inc. announced that its Kadant Black Clawson Inc. subsidiary has received an order for paper recycling and approach-flow systems valued at $3.7 million from Jiangsu Wonder Paper Manufacturing Co., Ltd., part of the Hong Kong-based Multi Mega Persada group.
The equipment will be installed in a mill being built in Jiangsu Province, China, for the production of recycled linerboard. The mill is scheduled to begin operation in the first half of next year.
Kadant will provide a complete stock-preparation system consisting of pulpers, de-trashing equipment, cleaners, screening systems, refiners, and clarifiers that will separate usable fiber from recycled material at a rate of 500 metric tons per day. The order also includes an approach-flow system that further processes the pulp mixture before entry into the paper machine, which will produce high-quality linerboard used in packaging materials.
"With this new mill and a corrugated-box plant that has been proposed, Wonder Paper is making significant investments that will allow it to expand into linerboard production," said William A. Rainville, chairman and CEO of Kadant. "We are pleased to have been chosen as a supplier of critical components for this major project - a result of the confidence that paper producers have in our technology and our worldwide customer support."Latest from Recycling Today
