Collection

Waste paper comes from homes, offices, shopping malls, markets, etc. The collected paper is wrapped in tight bales in a warehouse and then moved to our paper mill, where it undergoes recycling to become new paper.

Sorting

There are different grades of paper, such as newspapers, duplex, white cutting, boards, core pipes, etc. We send them to the conveyor.

Wire section

A uniform jet of a watery stock releases the wet-end of the paper machine from the headbox. Next, foils (short for hydrofoils) remove water and ensure that the fibres weave together in a tight mat.
The wire goes through suction boxes that vacuum out the water, leaving a soft mat of pulp that forms the paper sheet, also known as the paper web. In a couple of seconds, the water content drops, and there is no more wet sheen on the internet.

Press section

Now, further water removal takes place by passing the paper web through a series of nip rollers that squeeze the water out of the pulp mat. Due to this, the fibres also get compressed, so they intertwine to form a thick, smooth sheet. At this stage, the water content reduces to somewhere between 45% and 55%.

Drying section

The paper web passes through an enclosed space that has several steam-heated drying cylinders. They are heated to 130ºC using steam heat to make sure that the paper is now 80% to 85% dry. We handle wet sizing solution to add a thin layer of starch to the surface. Starch makes the bonding of fibres stiff. After the sizing is applied, the paper heats by drying cylinders. In a nutshell, the paper web may travel 400 meters through the dry end. By the end of the process, it becomes almost scorched.

Finishing

A smooth and glossy surface is given to the paper to make it suitable for printing. The paper passes through a set of smooth rollers, which may be hard or soft. They press the paper, embossing a flat face on the paper surface.

Real-time quality control

A regulated control over the variables is essential in this process. Afterwards, the sheet of paper is inspected by an automated measuring device to detect any undesirable qualities.

Winding

After its journey, the paper exits from the paper machine and wounds onto a sizeable jumbo reel. A crane lifts the jumbo bobbin to a nearby winder. It is here that the paper is unwound and cut into smaller rolls as desired.

Paper Quality testing

Samples of containerboard moves to our Quality Control laboratories. Only the highest quality of the paper is accepted.

Packing

The Finish Paper Rolls are Shrink-Packed so that the material does not get damaged during transportation and customers obtain the goods in excellent condition. Every roll gets bar code labels, and the Equipment is stocked safely and becomes ready for shipment.

Transportation

With the help of installed cranes and forklifts, the end product loads into containers or trucks. After weighing and issuing a Tax Invoice, the material gets on the path to its destination.
