ANDRITZ Process Performance Study

Small steps – big success

Your goal is to enhance output within a specific period? But without replacing your entire line?
Let’s figure it out together.

Our service experts (process technologists, automation experts and mechanical service technicians) are able to optimize your installed base with customized solutions and specialist knowledge. We conduct assessments and analyses based on our experience and expertise in order to redesign your entire process step by step.

Capacity increase

In this issue, we are focusing on our capability to increase the capacity of your process with our process performance study. Another highlight and more opportunities provided by the Process Performance Study will be covered in future newsletters.


Various market requirements often compel companies to change or adapt their products. This can have a considerable impact on the entire stock preparation or mechanical pulping process, resulting in changes in capacity.

We offer:

With our process performance study, we gain an overview of your entire system. We take the time to analyze all the necessary details and assess how bottlenecks can be eliminated without having to rebuild the entire process. 

With the process performance study, we can develop customized solutions. We focus on current and future machinery requirements, maintenance and repairs, automation topics, and process technology aspects.

Here is an example of how to increase capacity in stock preparation

You are planning to rebuild your refiner line so that your future product meets the necessary requirements in terms of production standards and fiber quality. The line is to produce several times the original capacity for a special, highly refined pulp.

To achieve this, several process engineering aspects must be considered and analyzed: the choice of refiner plates, an additional, properly dimensioned refiner, the process engineering operating mode, the automation plan (additional instrumentation, new main drive, frequency converter).

What can we achieve with our evaluations and service?
  • Energy savings due to less idle energy consumption
  • Increases in production many times over
  • Increased refining output
  • Lower maintenance and repair costs
  • Savings due to lower consumption of refiner plates
  • Simplified control with digital operating station instead of analog control panels
Curious to find out what potential is hidden in your existing process?


Contact us today! We look forward to working together with you to inspect the current performance of your line, eliminate existing bottlenecks, and present customized solutions to increase the capacity of your process.
