FROM THE JOBSITE
The extensive pipe- and ductwork of the air-handling systems in the
Lenzing Group’s new lyocell fibre plant had to be insulated on a very
tight schedule. Together with the project management the insulation
companyKnierzinger found inArma-ChekSilver theoptimal solution for
the complex requirements.
Theworld’smostmodern fibreplant
The LenzingGroup’snew lyocell fibreplant is record-breaking: in just 24
months themost modern fibre production facilities in theworldwere
constructed at the company headquarters in Lenzing (Vöcklabruck dis-
trict, Austria). Thenewproduction linewitha capacityof 67,000 tonnes
per year is around four times as big as previous lines. This is where
lyocell fibres aremanufactured –man-made regenerated fibres made
fromcellulose,whichLenzingAGsellsunder thebrandnameTENCEL®*.
The company invested around €150million in this projectwhichmarks
a technological milestone for the Lenzing Group. Construction of the
jumbo linewentaccording toplan, both financiallyand in termsof time.
