Pulp Drying and Baling
Online Course Description:
Some pulp mills are not integrated with papermaking operations, so they produce market pulp and sell it to papermaking facilities. Market pulp is dried and then cut into sheets that are stacked into bales so they can be transported. Most market pulp is dried to about 10% moisture, but pulp that will only travel a short distance might be dried to about 50% moisture. The higher moisture pulp is known as "wetlap." Pulp drying machines are similar to paper machines and typically include the following processes: forming, pressing, drying, cutting, and baling. This module describes each of these processes in detail.
