Lee & Man Paper to Add Two Semi-Chemical Fiber Lines to Replace Imported Virgin and Recycled Pulp

Published:2021-05-10 · Industry News

According to information released by ANDRITZ, Lee & Man Paper Manufacturing Limited will purchase production lines from ANDRITZ and invest in building one semi-chemical pulp production line each at its Guangdong Lee & Man and Jiangxi Lee & Man mills. Both production lines are scheduled to start up at the end of 2022.

The two production lines will use eucalyptus wood as raw material to produce semi-chemical pulp - a pulp grade between kraft chemical pulp and mechanical pulp - providing high-quality fiber for the production of industrial packaging paper such as corrugated paper and other grades.

ANDRITZ's efficient green liquor pulping process ensures high-quality, high-yield pulp production and provides the best complementary configuration with a chemical pulp mill.

The main equipment of the two semi-chemical pulp production lines offers the following technical advantages:

The ANDRITZ continuous cooking vessel features a unique design adapted to the semi-chemical pulping process.

The medium-consistency blow-line refiner, model 1CP, uniformly refines the cooked wood chips with low specific energy consumption.

The five-stage washing combination includes an efficient vacuum VT washer and the ANDRITZ screw press washer, ensuring minimal fiber loss while reducing the content of harmful substances to a minimum.

Basic engineering design, mechanical installation, and start-up and commissioning services for the two production lines are also included in ANDRITZ's scope of supply.

Mr. Li Man Bun, President of Lee & Man Paper, said: "We decided to focus on producing virgin pulp ourselves to replace imported virgin pulp and recycled pulp. These two new production lines make us more self-sufficient in pulp demand and less susceptible to market fluctuations. ANDRITZ has accumulated rich experience in semi-chemical pulp production lines in recent years and is the supplier with the only case currently in operation in the country, which was the decisive factor in our choice of ANDRITZ."

Lee & Man Paper Manufacturing Limited was founded in 1994 and mainly produces packaging kraft linerboard and corrugated medium of various grades and specifications. The Lee & Man Group currently has five paper mills and one pulp mill in China, and also has production bases in countries such as Vietnam and Malaysia.
