Upcoming Live Webcast Auction for Fiber Recovery Equipment

Tiger Group, in partnership with Can-Am Machinery, Inc., is set to host a live webcast auction on October 8, aimed at selling machinery and equipment from Total Fiber Recovery, a facility situated in Chesapeake, Virginia. This auction represents a unique opportunity for buyers interested in purchasing equipment related to fiber processing and recycled pulp production. Interested parties are invited to submit their bids ahead of the auction, which highlights the dual-track sales process being adopted.

Auction Overview

The live bidding will commence on Thursday, October 1, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. (ET) and will conclude on October 8, 2026, at the same time. The auction will be conducted through TigerCast, enabling participants to engage remotely. The equipment available for bid includes a range of integrated systems encompassing pulping, screening, dewatering, drying, baling, and packaging—a full suite of processing capabilities tailored for handling post-consumer recycled fibers.

John Coelho, Senior Director at Tiger Commercial Industrial, emphasized that there is significant interest from strategically-minded buyers who are considering acquiring the complete facility or its major integrated systems. This flexibility allows buyers various options, whether they are looking for turnkey solutions, specific systems, or individual pieces of equipment.

Equipment Listing and Features

The Total Fiber Recovery facility recently incurred operational interruptions due to funding issues, but not before it was partially operational as a modern, 600-ton-per-day recycling and pulping facility. The quality and readiness of this equipment make this auction a rare find for those in the industry. Equipment from leading manufacturers, like Kadant Black Clawson, Bellmer Kufferath, and TSI, features prominently in this auction.

Some standout pieces of equipment include:

• - A TSI rotary drum dryer system with a Hauck burner and a Clarage induced-draft fan.
• - Pulping, screening, and dewatering systems from Kadant.
• - Comprehensive baling and packaging equipment, along with the facility's electrical distribution infrastructure and utilities.
• - A significant inventory of spare parts.

The facility itself was designed to process an impressive capacity of up to 200,000 metric tons of unbleached recycled pulp annually, and its strategic location near the Port of Norfolk enhances logistical benefits for domestic and export markets alike.
