Xuan Mai Paper starts up second ANDRITZ deinking pulp line in Vietnam

Designed for 75 t/d and processing 100% mixed office waste, the line increases Xuan Mai Paper’s capacity for high-quality recycled pulp while supporting more efficient resource utilization. The project marks another milestone in the long-standing partnership between Xuan Mai Paper and ANDRITZ, following the successful installation of the first DIP line in 2020.

The new line comprises a complete stock preparation system engineered for stable operation, consistent pulp quality, and improved resource utilization. A key process is the SelectaFlotTM flotation system, followed by ultra-high dispersion and high-consistency peroxide bleaching, to achieve targeted brightness and fiber recovery levels while ensuring optimal use of recovered fibers.

In addition, ANDRITZ supplied a tailor-made drum pulper designed to integrate seamlessly into the mill’s existing layout. Adapting to the limited space, ANDRITZ delivered precise layout engineering, coordinated installation and commissioning, and supported start-up. The project’s high level of technical adaptation and collaborative execution ensured a smooth transition to full operation.

The Chairman of Xuan Mai Paper said: “The successful start-up of our second DIP line marks an important step in expanding our recycled fiber capacity and meeting the growing market demand for high-quality tissue. ANDRITZ proved to be a reliable partner throughout the project, delivering a well-engineered solution that integrates seamlessly into our existing mill and enables efficient, stable production from day one.”

Xuan Mai Paper is one of Vietnam’s leading tissue producers and a repeat customer of ANDRITZ. This new project builds on previously delivered tissue production technologies and further underscores ANDRITZ’s capability to provide high-performance solutions and reliable project execution under challenging conditions.
