1. Technology of Manufacture and Processing of Paper and Board
Development of fibre processing technologies (virgin pulp, secondary fibres, TMP, CTMP, etc.) if manufacture of various kind of final products
Optimisation of manufacturing processes and surface treatment of paper and board
• Stock preparation - pulp beating
• Wire and press section of PM - sheet forming and de-watering
• Drying part of paper machines
• Rewinding
• Coating
• Calendering
• Cutting, grooving and die cutting
Trouble shooting
• Operation of PM and converting machines
• Flaws in paper
Cost minimisation
• Operational costs of raw material and energy
• Investment costs
Improvement of the environmental protection
• Measuring of flow rates and process water consumption
• Balance and recycling of water
• Effluent quality
• Decrease of the amount of solid waste
• Usage of secondary fibres
2. Raw Material for Paper Industry.
Fibre
• The processing of fibrous materials (virgin pulp, secondary fibres, TMP, CTMP, bamboo, bagasse and other annual plants pulp)
• Optimisation of their utilisation and furnish composition
• Designing of defibrillation, screening and beating lines
Fillers and pigments
• Usage, preparation and processing of fillers and pigments (china clay, fine grounded and precipitated calcium carbonate, talc, mica and others) for paper industry
• Evaluation of the quality of commercial and new types of fillers and pigments
• Development and modification of fillers and pigments
Papermaking aids
• Application of papermaking aids (retention systems, sizes, starches, latex)
• Optimisation and selection of suitable types of papermaking aids
• Coating technology and the coating formulas for various final products and coating base paper
3. Paper Grades
- Improvement of properties of current paper products, development of new types, innovation and improvement of quality
- Pilot plant verification of paper technology, raw materials and papermaking aids in the area of fibrous and non-fibrous, manufacture and surface treatment of paper, cardboard and board
- Assessment of the processability of paper and final products
- Pilot plant manufacture of special and tailor-made paper products (stickers, rollers, cut-outs, etc.), puzzles as required by the customer, water marked representative letter paper meeting customer’s needs and paper with special fibres, letter writing paper, etc.) (See “Manufacture”)
- Surface treatment and converting papers and boards using pilot plant facility (see “Pilot plant facility”)
