Andritz has received an order from Domtar Paper Company to supply a logyard circular crane for its Marlboro mill, USA. The new crane will replace existing equipment and has a net lift capacity of 32 tons and a radial reach of 170 ft (52 m). The start-up is scheduled for early 2016.
Andritz’s scope of supply includes the equipment, engineering, and on-site services. The crane will be able to unload log trucks in a single bite, feed the logline at the required rate, and also assist in managing log storage on site.
The Andritz CRC20 Circular Crane represents the latest on-site log handling technology. It adheres to high safety standards, is easy to maintain, is very efficient, and utilizes data acquisition systems to support logyard operations.
