Beating Effects on Mechanical Recycle, 1997 Recycling Symposium Proceedings
The effects of beating on mechanical recycle were unknown. This project investigated these effects by testing the properties of fiber strength and bonding strength through subsequent recycles. These recycles consisted of low intensity beating, high intensity beating, and no beating for the optimization of recycled sheet properties. Evaluation of the data provided the trends that were relevant. This project yielded information regarding the number of times a mechanically treated fiber can be recycled, the yield loss, the effect of air drying, and the degradation of strength in both paper and individual fibers.
