Mpact Operations Ltd is the largest paper and plastics packaging manufacturer and recycling business in Southern Africa. It is an accredited manufacturer of recycled-based packaging and industrial paper grades, such as containerboard and cartonboard.
Now, international technology group Andritz has received an order from Mpact Operations to upgrade a pulping line at its Mkhondo Paper Mill in Mpumalanga, South Africa. The upgrade will increase the line’s capacity and improve the strength properties of the product.
Andritz will upgrade the entire neutral sulphite semi-chemical pulping (NSSC) line, which processes eucalyptus and pine to provide fluting and linerboard for the production of containerboard. Andritz will also provide the supervision over the erection, commissioning, and start-up as well as the training of the operating personnel. Start-up of the upgraded line is scheduled for the first half of 2025.
