Wet End
starts with the wood pulp diluted to 99% water and 1% fibre. a continous stream of slurry is pumped through an ajustible slit onto a moving guaze wire belt that vibrates to drain off some of the water and allow the fibres to interweave.
Press Section
nip presses or rollers that wring out the majority of excess water from the pulp and stretches out into a rough paper.
Dryer Section
dries the paper using a series of steam-heated rollers by removing the moisture.
Calender Section
paper is fed into a series of rollers to smooth it out and give it a thickness. the amount of pressure determines the finish of the paper.
