#31 How does chip pretreatment improve paper quality and profitability in the mechanical pulping process?
28 Apr 2025
The often used saying “what you put in is what you get out” is very true when it comes to the mechanical pulping process (TMP). Good quality chips are essential for efficient and profitable production, as well as high quality paper products. Chip pretreatment is a crucial stage in the TMP process as it sets the foundation for effective fiber separation during the refining process. With the latest ANDRITZ pretreatment technology for TMP, the PrimeMSD Impressafiner, producers can be assured of uniform chips, consistent chemical impregnation and reduced shives leading to a much more efficient process. The PrimeMSD Impressafiner delivers superior impregnation and optimized chip maceration which leads to reduced energy consumption and smoother refining. It also provides improved fiber strength, lower refining challenges, and consistent pulp quality. With sustainability at its core, lower energy use and reduced waste generation align with environmental and operational goals. In this podcast we talk to Ernst Kubr, Product Manager, ANDRITZ Refiners about the pretreatment of chips utilizing the PrimeMSD Impressafiner which has been designed for maximum efficiency and sustainability.
