Calendering Technology Advances
Papermakers continue to use advanced multi-roll calenders to improve the production of SC papers in North America. The technology is spreading with two orders for use on coated paper in the U.S. A review of calendering covers new applications and developments in covers and rolls.
Wet-end Chemicals
Wet-End Additives and AKD
Pilot plant and laboratory analyses provide a better understanding of how such common wet-end additives as PCC and cationic starch influence AKD sizing retention and reaction efficiency.
Pulping
Improved Pulping Control
Abitibi-Consolidated's Stephenville, Nfld., mill installs a single model predictive controller for all eight mainline refiners, resulting in less shives, a reduction in refiner trips due to excessive power usage, and improved newsprint quality.
Papermaking
Profilers Accelerate Papermaking
Installed as part of a dryer upgrade project, high-resolution electric infrared profilers are helping reduce cross-direction moisture streaks at Blandin Papers in Grand Rapids, Minn., allowing the mill's off-machine coater to set a North American speed record.
