2 Pulp Testing Equipment Every Paper Manufacturer Must Have

Pulp refining, washing, and de-watering play vital roles in the formation of a good quality pulp. Manufacturers make sure these processes are performed with utmost care and use the right equipment in laboratories. The absence of equipment that produces accurate results and is high-performance may result in low-quality paper and hence low reputation. So if you’re a newbie in the paper manufacturing business and couldn’t invest in several machines, make sure you at least have the following two. Of course, there is always a scope of other machines too, however, to begin with, these must be handy in the first place.

1. Pulp Refiner

The first widely used pulp testing equipment is the pulp refiner, also called double disc refiner. It is used for research and development in the pulp and papermaking industries. It pays a huge contribution to make pulp one with higher strength than the other. In this instrument, raw steamed/chemically cooked/fully cooked pulps and cooked straw pulps are wet ground and defibrated. The unit is equipped with a set of grinding discs of 304mm in diameter and comes in dimensions of 81.0 x 95.0 x 99.0 cm. Extra grinding discs, drive motors of different watts, and motorized screw feeding arrangements are available to manufacturers on demand.

2. Pulp Centrifuge

The next is the pulp centrifuge by UEC, which is a specially designed instrument to wash or de-water the samples of pulp. It is a motorized unit that comes with a stainless steel container. The stainless steel container has an attached timing belt to perform the process. It comes in the standard dimension of 75 x 48 x 65 cm.
