Arctic Paper Kostrzyn S.A has ordered from Andritz, Graz, Austria, stock preparation components that will improve the quality of fine paper grades produced at its Kostrzyn mill in Poland. The stock at Kostrzyn is used to produce copy paper and offset paper. Startup of the new components is scheduled for January 2011.

The scope of supply includes a complete thick stock screening and ShortFlow blending system, the paper machine approach system (including machine screens), a cleaner plant upgrade, and the new ShortFlow Deaeration system. ShortFlow Deaeration is an advanced solution for partial air removal that combines a white water silo and conventional deaeration system in one unit. Arctic Paper’s project goals are improved paper quality from better pulp cleanliness and better paper machine stability by removing excess air from the white water. Andritz also will provide installation supervision, basic engineering, startup, and training.
