Compañía Papelera Pacífico (CPP) is one of the eight subsidiaries of the Chilean group Empresas Coipsa. Alongside its new subsidiary Unipapel, it produces corrugated paper and high-performance fiber for the sustainable packaging industry in Latin America.
Both companies have a combined production capacity of more than 200,000 tons of corrugated paper per year.
Voith signed a contract with Compañía Papelera Pacífico (CPP) in Chile To install a new decontamination system at the mill located in San Francisco de Mostazal, CPP signed a contract with Voith.
The system has significantly increased the processing capacity of the waste contained in the recycled cardboard that CPP uses as raw material for its production.
Voith’s decontamination system will also help the mill to ensure the 24-hour operating availability of its pulper, since it will save the time required for cleaning and removing process contaminants.
“By supplying this decontamination system, we are helping CPP to improve the quality of the paper it produces, as well as to reduce future maintenance costs,” says Antonio Lemos, CEO of Voith Paper South America.
“Voith has worked together with us throughout the modernization process of the cleaning systems we have implemented to maximize the use of our recycled fiber, increasing our availability and quality to allow us to deliver even better paper grades for the sustainable packaging industry in Latin America”, points out Ricardo Orellana, General Manager of CPP and Unipapel, the new paper mill of Empresas Coipsa.
The TwinPulp III decontamination system supplied by Voith to CPP is comprised of the Contaminex CM20, IntensaMaxx IM15, and IntensaScreenDrum ISD16 components, and has allowed CPP to increase its paper mills’ production efficiency by minimizing the loss of fibers and enabling the use of raw materials with higher contamination rates, which also helps reduce production costs.
