Paper is a single-use substance. 50% of the total manufactured papers become waste just after one use.
Waste paper recycling is an initiative to recycle these papers and turn them into new papers. Waste Paper Pulp Making Machine is used to turn old/used paper into new paper from books, newspapers, boxes, corrugated cardboard, etc.
How is waste paper used to make pulp?
Waste paper is collected from domestic and industrial wastes. In recycling centers, this paper is used to generate new papers. Huge quantities of waste papers are collected to form a pulp - a mixture of papers/fibers and water.
The waste papers are broken down by applying chemical and mechanical treatments. They are mixed with water in a huge container with chemicals to remove impurities and ink. This mixture is called pulp or slurry.
The main step is sorting - waste paper may include different types that aren't recyclable and must be removed first.
The Waste Paper Pulp Making Process
Pulping is the basic process to generate material for paper manufacture. The raw material is collected in the Pulper which has rotating functionality for efficient breaking of fibers. The mixture is passed through screeners to separate unwanted pieces.
The waste paper pulping process uses the deflaking system to get required quality of pulp. Deflakers are attached to the deinking system to separate impurities like inks and stains.
Any kinds of wasted paper like newspaper, magazine, paper boards, cartons, print papers can be used. The main products derived are food packaging products like paper plates, bowls, cups, etc.
