International technology group ANDRITZ has successfully commenced operations of two recycled fiber lines at Lipy Paper Mills Ltd. in Kanchpur, Bangladesh. These start-ups represent the introduction of ANDRITZ’s recycled fiber (RCF) technology to the country’s paper industry. Together, the two lines have a processing capacity of 150 tons per day, transforming locally sourced old corrugated cardboard and mixed office waste into recycled fibers, which are used to produce high-quality testliner, writing, and printing papers.
ANDRITZ supplied innovative technologies such as the PrimeScreen X pressure screen and PrimeFloat flotation system to minimise fiber loss, and an ultra-high dispersing system to reduce steam consumption.
Abdul Matin Khan, Managing Director, Lipy Paper Mills said: “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 perfectly align with our strategic goal of sustainable operations.“
Wei Shi, Vice President, Regional Manager Paper & Textile APAC, ANDRITZ, added: “We thank Lipy Paper Mills for their trust and partnership in pioneering our RCF technology in Bangladesh – this project marks another milestone in our commitment to supporting the paper industry worldwide with resource-efficient and innovative technologies.”
Established in 2016, Lipy Paper Mills Ltd. is a division of the family-owned Lipy Group, a Bangladeshi enterprise committed to producing high-quality paper products while upholding environmental responsibility and promoting sustainable business development.
