Orders received included 13 complete paper machines, seven of which will be installed in Europe, three in the USA, two in China and one in Australia. Apart from smaller orders, 18 major rebuilds were also booked. We are particularly proud of the start-ups of two writing and printing paper machines in Germany at Papierfabrik Palm GmbH & Co in Eltmann and at Gebrüder Lang GmbH in Ettringen. Both machines belong to a new, future-oriented generation of plants operating with totally closed draws. The technological breakthrough in this machine concept for increasing production speed and enhancing paper quality was achieved Hans Müller, President and CEO mainly by onward development of our NipcoFlex shoe press technology and by the Voith Sulzer Paper Technology new Janus Mark II generation of calenders. We believe the innovative role we have adopted in keeping ahead of the field will attract considerable attention in the paper industry, with our new ideas rapidly gaining worldwide acceptance. In July 1999, the Voith Group of Companies acquired the roll cover, service and paper machine clothing activities from the Scapa Group. This significant expansion in our service capabilities means we can provide our customers with even better assistance and support. Today, we operate 45 Service Centers in Europe, America and Asia. With the expansion in paper machine clothing technology, we are consistently pursuing our objective of expanding our base as a comprehensive systems supplier. In establishing Voith Sulzer Automation we have combined all Group paper technology automation activities in our company. This concentration of forces has already shown first successes in the new “Millennium” range of products, bringing us one step closer to the most reliable paper manufacturing process. For the new Millennium we wish you every success and hope that this issue of our “twogether Magazine” again proves interesting reading for you. Yours sincerely, Hans Müller on behalf of the Voith Sulzer Paper Technology Team 2 HIGHLIGHTS Startup highlights in 1998/99 Stock Preparation Papeteries de Gascogne, Kimberly-Clark Ecuador, Ecuador.

    ISSN: 2395-3594 IJAET International Journal of Application of Engineering and Technology Vol-2 No.-3 Corrugated Board Structure: A Review M.C. Kaushal1, V.K.Sirohiya2 and R.K.Rathore3 1 2 Assistant Prof. Mechanical Engineering Department, Gwalior Institute of Information Technology,Gwalior, Assistant Prof. Mechanical Engineering 3 Departments, Gwalior Engineering College, Gwalior, M. Tech students Maharanapratap College of Technology, Gwalior, [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Corrugated board is widely used in the packing industry. The main advantages are lightness, recyclability and low cost. This makes the material the best choice to produce containers devoted to the shipping of goods. Furthermore examples of structure design based on corrugated boards can be found in different fields. Structural analysis of paperboard components is a crucial topic in the design of containers. It is required to investigate their strength properties because they have to protect the goods contained from lateral crushing and compression loads due to stacking. However in this paper complete and detailed information are presented. Keywords: - corrugated boards, recyclability, compression loads. Smaller flutes offer printability advantages as well as I. INTRODUCTION structural advantages for retail packaging. Corrugated board is essentially a paper sandwich consisting of corrugated medium layered between inside II. HISTORY and outside linerboard. On the production side, corrugated In 1856 the first known corrugated material was patented is a sub-category of the paperboard industry, which is a for sweatband lining in top hats. During the following four sub-category of the paper industry, which is a sub-category decades other forms of corrugated material were used as of the forest products industry.

  • Making Paper from Trees
    Making Paper from Trees Forest Service U.S. Department of Agriculture FS-2 MAKING PAPER FROM TREES Paper has been a key factor in the progress of civilization, especially during the past 100 years. Paper is indispensable in our daily life for many purposes. It conveys a fantastic variety and volume of messages and information of all kinds via its use in printing and writing-personal and business letters, newspapers, pamphlets, posters, magazines, mail order catalogs, telephone directories, comic books, school books, novels, etc. It is difficult to imagine the modern world without paper. Paper is used to wrap packages. It is also used to make containers for shipping goods ranging from food and drugs to clothing and machinery. We use it as wrappers or containers for milk, ice cream, bread, butter, meat, fruits, cereals, vegetables, potato chips, and candy; to carry our food and department store purchases home in; for paper towels, cellophane, paper handkerchiefs and sanitary tissues; for our notebooks, coloring books, blotting paper, memo pads, holiday greeting and other “special occasion’’ cards, playing cards, library index cards; for the toy hats, crepe paper decorations, paper napkins, paper cups, plates, spoons, and forks for our parties. Paper is used in building our homes and schools-in the form of roofing paper, and as paperboard- heavy, compressed product made from wood pulp-which is used for walls and partitions, and in such products as furniture. Paper is also used in linerboard, “cardboard,” and similar containers. Wood pulp is the principal fibrous raw material from which paper is made, and over half of the wood cut in this country winds up in some form of paper products.

  • Parchment-Like Paper Using Water Hyacinth Pulp
    Philippine Journal of Science 141 (2): 179-185, December 2012 ISSN 0031 - 7683 Date Received: 20 Sept 2011 Parchment-Like Paper Using Water Hyacinth Pulp Erlinda L. Mari Forest Products Research and Development Institute Department of Science and Technology College, Laguna Water hyacinth pulps, obtained by open-vessel cooking of fresh, air-dried, and ground water hyacinth stems, were mixed with abaca and wastepaper pulps to form handsheets. The handsheets had natural glaze and those from pure hyacinth pulps were fairly translucent, with Cobb values of 38-40 g/m2 that compare well with commercial parchment paper. Compared with either pure abaca or pure wastepaper pulp, replacement with water hyacinth pulp by 25 to 75% significantly improved burst index and tensile index, suggesting better formation and bonding of fibers. Inversely, however, any amount of the soft and short-fibered hyacinth pulp with either pulp reduced tear index, understandably because this property is dependent more on fiber length. With wastepaper pulp, water hyacinth pulp improves the tensile property to a level comparable with that of paper from abaca pulp as well as parchment paper. Key Words: Cobb values, fiber formation, tensile index INTRODUCTION Interestingly, water hyacinth is already widely used in handmade papermaking (HMP) in Kenya (http:// Local studies on the pulp and papermaking potential of www.unep.org/roa 2008) and Bangladesh (http:// water hyacinth conducted in the late seventies (Zerrudo www.

Please contact [email protected] for additional information. CHANGES IN PRINT PAPER DURING THE 19TH CENTURY AJ Valente, ([email protected]), President, Paper Antiquities When the first paper mill in America, the Rittenhouse Mill, was built, Western European nations and city-states had been making paper from linen rags for nearly five hundred years. In a poem written about the Rittenhouse Mill in 1696 by John Holme it is said, “Kind friend, when they old shift is rent, Let it to the paper mill be sent.” Today we look back and can’t remember a time when paper wasn’t made from wood-pulp. Seems that somewhere along the way everything changed, and in that respect the 19th Century holds a unique place in history. The basic kinds of paper made during the 1800s were rag, straw, manila, and wood pulp.
