HOW IS BAMBOO TURNED INTO TOILET PAPER?
Dec 1st, 2020
The fiber morphology and content of bamboo are similar to that of coniferous wood which is most suitable for toilet paper making. Bamboo has high cellulose content, slender and strong fiber, and good adaptability. And the fiber length is between hardwood and coniferous wood, so it is a high-quality raw material for pulping and toilet paper making. With the development of science and technology and the paper industry, new technologies such as continuous cooking and chlorine-free and pollution-free bleaching have matured. This can effectively solve the technical problems such as poor whiteness and fiber of bamboo pulp in the original pulping process. At the same time, the discharge of pollutants can also meet the national control standards.
How is bamboo turned into toilet paper? 1. Growth and harvest:
• Growth-Bamboo is the fastest growing plant in the world. It can mature in 3-5 years and become a forest easily.
• Harvest-the bamboo forest, which is less than 5 kilometers near the factory, is harvested 2-3 times a year and does not occupy Cultivated land, woodland.
2. Pulping:
• The harvested bamboo knots are transported to the factory and cut into bamboo slices. This makes the beating process easier.
• Bamboo slices are mixed with water and chemicals to make a slurry.
• Put the slurry into cooking equipment like a giant pressure cooker. After several hours of evaporation, the moisture of the bamboo pulp was evaporated and the pure fiber pulp was obtained.
3. Bleaching:
• Before rinsing, the pulp should be washed many times by the washing system to remove the chemicals in the pulping.
• The washed pulp is sent to bleach and the color of the fiber is removed by a multi-step chemical process. The common bleaching technology is low-cost chlorine bleaching, but it has been proven to be harmful to the human body and the environment. Newland Bamboo uses ECF bleaching and H2O2 bleaching techniques that are totally chlorine-free (TCF).
4. Press before production:
• The pulp is remixed with water to produce pulp. The pulp is sprayed between the moving screens so that a large amount of water is discharged.
• The cushion is then transferred to a large heating cylinder, which presses and dries the paper to the final water content.
5. Rolling:
Wrinkle the paper, which makes it very soft. Then, use a metal scraper to scrape the paper off the Yankee dryer. Paper is produced at speeds of up to miles per minute and then wound around giant scrolls. This way you get the bamboo paper parent roll.
6. Production of finished products:
• Place the bamboo parent paper roll on the conversion equipment, unfold it, cut it, and rewind it onto a slender cardboard tube. Then we cut the slender bamboo tissue to get bamboo toilet paper. (2ply 3ply private label bamboo toilet paper)
• Transfer these molded toilet paper rolls to the packaging machine, pack them in pallets, and ship them to the port of destination by trailer.
