OCC and reject treatment system for Hadera mill

Infinya Containerboard in Israel has ordered a complete OCC line including a reject treatment system from Andritz for its recycled paper mill at Hadera.

The OCC line will have a capacity for 1,080 bdmt per day and will use mixed old corrugated containers as raw material to produce highquality fluting and testliner for the domestic market.

The key equipment includes the complete stock preparation line with a FibreFlow drum pulping system for gentle slushing and removal of contaminants at minimum fibre loss.

Andritz will install a number of its Prime stock preparation products, such as PrimeScreen X screens for screening and fractionation with energy consumption. A PrimeFilter D disc filter with an advanced feed system will enable higher productivity and operation at reduced energy costs.

The new reject treatment system will be equipped with an ADuro C shredder for coarse shredding and ReCo reject compactors for dewatering the rejects to highest possible dry contents. The new OCC line will be equipped with an Andritz distributed control system and motor control centre, to ensure optimum plant performance.

Andritz will also provide field instruments, the basic and detail engineering, supervision of installation, commissioning and start-up service as well as the operator training. Start-up is planned for the third quarter of 2024. Infinya, established in 1953, is the largest packaging and recycling company in Israel.
