James E. Beatty
Paper Technology Consultant
Secondary fiber can be very variable. Data is presented on the variability found in seven commonly used secondary fiber types. How this variability effects paper machine operations is discussed and suggestions are given as to what to do to alleviate some of the problems caused by the use of secondary fiber and its inherent variability. These suggestions cover the testing of incoming secondary fiber through the stock preparation area and paper machine operation.
