An IntensaDrum SD 35 pulping drum is part of the stock preparation system at Agarwal Industries. The IntensaDrum SD 35 is a part of the BlueLine equipment family and the first one of this type that has been in operation in India. Shortly after the start-up, the Voith IntensaDrum impressed with very good results, as the Managing Director R N Agarwal confirms: “It is a very good machine. The rejects are very clean and free of fiber.”

The stock preparation at N. R. Agarwal Industries Ltd. is a two-stage deinking and flotation system. Voith’s decades of experience with stock preparation systems was decisive for N. R. Agarwal Industries Ltd. when choosing a supplier. The low maintenance and energy costs of IntensaDrum SD 35 pulping drum also appealed. Furthermore, the IntensaDrum SD 35 is simple and robust in operation and its pulping performance is very good. Voith supplied the entire stock preparation system. The delivery included the automation technology, engineering, assembly and start-up.
