: The pulp slurry is sprayed onto a moving wire mesh at high speeds (up to 90 km/h). Water drains through the mesh, leaving a mat of interwoven fibers known as a paper web .
: The paper travels through a series of steam-heated metal cylinders (at temperatures around 100-130°C) to achieve a dryness level of roughly 85%. 4. Finishing and Packaging
: The resulting pulp is cleaned to remove impurities. For white paper, the pulp is bleached using chlorine-free methods like oxygen or peroxide.
: The paper passes through hot, smooth rollers to achieve the final desired thickness, smoothness, and gloss.
: The web passes through heavy rollers (nip rollers) that squeeze out up to 50% of the remaining water content.
: Pulp is often mixed with recycled paper fibers and water to create a dilute suspension called "furnish" (approximately 1% fiber to 99% water). 3. Forming the Paper Sheet
: The final paper is wound into massive "jumbo reels" (up to 8.5 meters wide) before being cut into smaller, standard sizes for consumer use.
The production of paper from wood is a complex industrial process involving several key stages: raw material preparation, pulping, sheet formation, and finishing. Modern mills can produce as many as 55,000 sheets per minute. 1. Raw Material Collection and Preparation
