    DEFINITION OF PAPER

    Paper is defined as a matted or felted sheet usuallycomposed of plant fiber. Paper has been commerciallymade from such fiber sources as rags (linen), bagasse

    (sugar cane), cotton, and straw.

    Modern paper is made almost exclusively from cellulosefiber derived from wood. Although the word paper isderived from the Egyptian term, papyrus was not a

    true paper in the modern sense.

    INVENTION OF PAPERThe invention of paper by blending cellulose fibers didnt

    occur until the beginning of the second century A.D.

    HISTORY

    Tsai Lun, a member of the court of the later HanDynasty, is generally credited with developing the first

    real papermaking process in 105 A.D.

    The Fourdrinier machine was the first on the market

    and produced a homogenous (single-ply) sheet ofboxboard in various thicknesses. It was soon joined by

    the Cylinder machine which formed a multi-layered

    (multi-ply) type of paperboard. These machines were first

    installed in the United States around 1830.

    PAPER & PAPERBOARD

    Paperboard, boxboard, cardboard, and cartonboard are all

    terms used to describe heavier paper stock.

    The International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

    states that material weighing more than 250 grams persquare metre shall be known as paperboard.

    U.S. practice calls material that is more than 300 micron

    (0.30mm) thick paperboard.

    PAPER MANUFACTURE

    Basic principles of paper and paperboard making have not

    changed for more than two thousand years. Fibres taken

    from timber are evenly distributed in water. Multiple layers

    of furnish are applied one after another on a wire. Water isdrained from the pulp and the layers are formed into a

    strong fibre mat. Smooth surface is achieved by coatings and

    calendering.

    Cylinder Machines

    A cylinder machine (Figure 3.3) rotates a screen

    drum in a vat of furnish. (The paper is sometimescalled vat paper.) As the water pours through the

    screen, fiber accumulates on the outside of the

    screen. This thin layer of matted fiber is transferred onto

    a moving felt belt that passes sequentially over further

    rotating cylinders, each of which deposits another fiber

    layer.

    The fibers of subsequent layers do notintermingle, andtherefore the bond between the layers isweak. The dry end is similar to that of thefourdrinier machine.Cylinder machines do not have the fourdriniermachine's limitation on the number ofstations, and six-or seven-station machines

    are common. Higher-caliper boards forfolding and setup cartons are usually cylinderboards.Generally, papers are made on fourdrinier ortwin-wire formers, whereas heavierpaperboard products are made on cylinder-type machines. Extremely heavy boards are

    made by laminating several thinner sheets.A typical cylinder board construction (Figure3.5):

    FOURDRINIER PAPER MACHINE Invented by Nicholas Louis Robert of France in 1798 the

    continuous paper machine was not placed into commercial

    operation until about 1804, though debate exists between

    the dates of 1804 and 1807, in England by the Fourdrinier

    brothers and has since been known as the Fourdrinier paper

    machine.

    Fourdrinier machine comprised of 4 sections:

    first the wet end,

    the press section,

    the drier section, and

    the calendar section.

    FOURDRINIER PAPER MACHINE

    Paper Machine - Wet End

    The wet end of the machine is where the refined pulp, spilling

    from the headbox section is laid out to align its fibers across

    the width of the wire or screen of the wet end to begin theprocess of aligning fibers in the machine running direction

    and to remove water from the refined pulp which is a much

    as 99% water content at this stage of production. Various

    configurations of the wet end of the machine exist today toservice different paper grade requirements but all adhere to

    the same principles of manufacturing.

  • 7/29/2019 l04 Msc Nutra Paper 1

    46/64

    FOURDRINIER PAPER MACHINE Paper Machine - Press SectionThe press section can comprise of two or more presses. Thestill wet web of paper is transferred from the wire of the wetend onto the felt at the couch roll, and is then carried throughthe presses on the felts; the texture and character of the feltsmay vary depending on the various surface structures whichcan be applied here. Sometimes a linen pattern or other typesof surface structure are introduced to the paper depending on

    the grade of paper being made. The main function of the pressis to continue to remove water from the pulp fibers and tosmooth the surface characteristics of the felt and wire sides(top and bottom sides) of the paper web running the length ofthe machine.

  • 7/29/2019 l04 Msc Nutra Paper 1

    47/64

    FOURDRINIER PAPER MACHINE Paper Machine - Drier sectionThe drier section consists of a series of driers, which are normally steam-heated cylinders. The web of paper is transported firmly against the driersby the fabric drier felts which are used to move the paper continuouslyalong the length of the paper machine once past the wet end. As the web

    passes from one drier to another, first the felt side (top side) and then thewire side (bottom side) are pressed against the heated surface of the drier.The web of paper enters the drier section with water content ofapproximately 65%; most of the remaining water is removed in this sectionof the paper machine. Within the drier section there can be a breaker stackused for imposing a finish to the paper surface and for the final machinedrying stage. The breaker stack normally consists of a pair of chilled metalor rubber-surfaced rollers. The cooling process of the chilled rollers bringsthe paper web into a more normal temperature range. When the papermanufacturing process is completed the paper will typically have amoisture range of 4-7% depending on the grade of paper beingmanufactured and on the end use requirements of the grade.

    FOURDRINIER PAPER MACHINE Paper Machine - Calender section

    The calender section, the final section, consists of calenderstacks with a winding mechanism for gathering the paper webonto a roll as it leaves the end of the paper machine. The

    calender section smoothes the paper and imparts, finish,thickness, or gloss. Water or starch, may also be used withinthe calender section to obtain specific surface finishes andimprove printing and other application characteristics. Afterthe calender stack the paper web exits the paper machine

    and is rolled into a master machine roll where it can beremoved from the end of the paper machine and sent to aconverting station where the paper will be either slit intosmaller rolls or where it may be sheeted for use in offset

    printing.

    Machine Direction and Cross DirectionDepositing a fiber-and-water slurry onto a moving wire belttends to align fibers in the direction of travel, known as themachine direction (MD). The direction across theapermaking machine and across the fiber alignment is thecross direction (CD) (Figure 3.7). Because of this fiber

    alignment, paper is an anisotropic material; measuredproperties differ depending on the direction in which theproperty is measured.

    Representative Papermaking MachinesFigure 3.8 shows the relationship of tear, stiffness,and fold endurance to machine direction. Paperspecification sheets normally show physical valuesmeasured in both directions. Package designers needto be aware of paper's directionality. Cylindermachines tend to align fibers more than fourdrinier

    machines. Tensile strength ratios in MD and CD for atypical fourdrinier board are about 2:1, whereas for acylinder board the ratio might be 4:1 or higher,meaning that the MD tensile strength is four timesgreater than the CD tensile strength. The greater thedegree of fiber alignment, the greater the difference

    in a given property when measured in MD and CD.The ratio of a property in the two directions is oftenused as a gauge of fiber alignment.

    Representative Papermaking MachinesCylinder machines tend to align fibers more than

    fourdrinier machines. Tensile strength ratios in MD and

    CD for a typical fourdrinier board are about 2:1, whereas

    for a cylinder board the ratio might be 4:1 or higher,meaning that the MD tensile strength is four times

    greater than the CD tensile strength. The greater the

    degree of fiber alignment, the greater the difference in a

    given property when measured in MD and CD. The ratio

    of a property in the two directions is often used as a

    gauge of fiber alignment

    Representative Papermaking MachinesSurface or Dry-End, Treatments and Coatings

    After the paper is formed and dried, it is usually

    passed between multiple sets of heavy rolls (Figure 3.9.).

    This "calendering" operation has many variations, but theprime objective is to iron and smooth out the surface of

    the paper stock to make it more suitable for printing.

    Calendering also compresses the paper sheet, giving a

    denser product and a glossier surface.Starch is a typical surface sizing used to fill surface

    voids and reduce liquid penetration rate.

    Figure 3.9 Calendering consists of passing the

    formed dried paper between sets of heavy rolls.

    The paper surface may be dampened to help in

    smoothing it

    Representative Papermaking MachinesTo meet the highest opacity, gloss, brightness, and printing-detail requirements, papers are coated with pigments such as

    clay, calcium carbonate, and titanium dioxide.

    Coated papers are usually called "clay-coated" regardless of

    the actual formulation. Coated papers are calendered to

    maintain a high-quality, smooth surface.

    In addition, highly sized and clay-coated boards can be

    difficult to bond with water-based adhesive because of poor

    liquid penetration and the inability of the adhesive to bond to

    the underlying fibers. Where necessary, coated boards should

    have perforations in the adhesive-bond areas so that adhesive

    can penetrate to the body of the paper.
