International technology group ANDRITZ has successfully commenced operations of two recycled fiber (RCF) lines at Lipy Paper Mills Ltd. in Kanchpur, Bangladesh. This project marks the first introduction of ANDRITZ’s RCF technology to the country’s paper industry.
The newly launched lines have the capacity to process 150 tons per day of locally sourced old corrugated cardboard and mixed office waste, converting them into high-quality recycled fibers. These fibers will be used for producing premium testliner, as well as writing and printing papers.
ANDRITZ provided advanced technologies to ensure efficient production, including the PrimeScreen X pressure screen, PrimeFloat flotation system to minimize fiber loss, and an ultra-high dispersing system designed to reduce steam consumption, contributing to overall energy savings.
Abdul Matin Khan, Managing Director of Lipy Paper Mills, expressed his satisfaction with the project, stating, “Thanks to the dedicated ANDRITZ team, production started smoothly. We are proud to be the first to use ANDRITZ’s advanced RCF technology in Bangladesh. The energy-saving features of the two lines align perfectly with our strategic goal of sustainable operations.”

This project is another milestone in our mission to support the global paper industry with resource-efficient and innovative solutions.”
