PAPER MILL [KRAFT PAPER, DUPLEX BOARD,
ART PAPER, MAPLITHO PAPER]
[CODE NO.4119]
The recovery of waste paper is traditional in the paper and paper board manufacturing industry. The importance of utilisation of waste paper in the paper and board industry should not be under estimated. It furnishes about 30 percent of all the fiberous raw materials consumed in the paper and board mills in the U.S.A. Europe and Japan.
The establishment of the local manufacture of paper board in a country after proceeds that of paper pulp. In this case, waste paper is one of the first sources of fiberous material to which resources is taken to reduce the purchase of the pulp. Waste paper in fact, a source of prepared fibre which needs only to be placed in suspention in water in order to obtain a pulp, making possible the formation of sheets of paper or paper board a very simple treatment which is within the ability of artisans.
The utilisation of waste paper supplements of a great extent the overall fibre requirements in any conuntry, every possible attempt should be made to recover waste paper for its being reconverted into paper, specially in those regions where it is difficult to get sufficient and cheap raw materials for manufacture of paper and paper boards.
It may be reasonably anticipated that the rate of recovery of waste paper will gradually increases to a maximum of 35 percent speciallq in those countries which have a lower figure recovery today. Measures to increases recovery of waste paper such as propoganda on the value of waste paper etc. Though the establishment of waste paper association are very essential and timely section should be initiated to save the fibrous material from decay or destruction.
Paper manufacturing industry in India has limited fibrous raw material resources and will not be able to give up its reliance on waste paper supply as cheap raw material. It wills rather increasing its dependence on waste paper increasing. There is no doubt that special appeals will also increase salvage of waste paper.
Paper form a commodity of prime importance to day from the parts of view of mass communication, education and industrial and economic growth. The art of paper making was first discovered in China in and around 2nd century. B.C. pan where it travelled slowly west ward and reached the prantiens of Europe. By the end of 14th century, a member of paper mill existed in Europe, particularly in Spain, Italy, France and Germany. the invention of printing in 1956 brought a vastly in creased demand for paper and paper-manufacturing was introduced to England. America followed in 1690.
Agricultural residues, such as bagasse, rice husk, wheat husk jute sticks, grasses etc. are fast becoming popular materials for paper making. considerable attention is being given to the utilization of various agricultural by products for preparing pulp for paper manufacture landable efforts are being make in this direction.
Paper production requires a disintegration of the bulky fibrous material to individual or small agglomerate fibres.
This is called pulping. The ideal fibre for high grade paper should be long, high in cellulose content and low in ligrin content. Most ideal raw material for paper products is bamboo. Other sources are bagasse and hardwoods like jute stick must be developed and good quality paper pulp make by blending with bamboo fibre.
Over recent years, the emergencies of mini paper plants on a reality seems to hold the promise of adding new horizons to the development and growth of Indian paper industry. In may be noted with concern that the large sector of this industry for quite sometime, has failed to sustain any appreciable growth due to various factors eg. The plant being highly capital intensive low rats of return and the raw material bottlenecks etc. mini paper plants are viewed as an effective remedy to the current ailments of the paper industry as they involve much less capital cost and are proved to be technically feasible and economically viable these plants can be erected on the basis of fully indigenous expertise, knowhow and machinery. Moreover, they after an effective means of lasing considerably the burden an conventional raw materials.
The paper industry of India is faced with numerous difficulties, some of which are given below:
1. Shortage of Fibrous Raw Material
The lack forest resources requires long range planning for development of improved bamboo has vesting utilization of bagasse, jute etc.
2. High process and Shortage of Chemicals
Shortage of sulphur, salt cake (Na2So4) and chlorine with corresponding high prices place in the Indian paper industry to a great disadvantage in attempting to export paper product to a regement of foreign exchange position. This forces a great deal more attention and chemical recovery methods.
Due to the above problems, it become necessary to use simple and more scientific methods for the manufacture of paper products. Due to the lack of the fibres material jute stick is now being started to be wed as the starting material. the paper produced from jute is very hard and has comparatively high tensile strength. Move over, the chemicals used are available indigenously without any difficulty. There are move than 30 to 40 paper industries producing in public and small scale sector. The other factors which can be kept in view in selecting the raw materials.
1. The fibres of the raw material should be of high strength.
2. Strength methods used for preparing the pulp shaved be easy and hot be complicated.
3. Properties of the product shaved are of quality by seeing the above problems and jute sticks are quite suitable for the production of paper. A good supply of jute sticks should be ensured by the suppliers.
Mini paper plants are mainly dependent on supplies of waste paper and rafs. They also make pulp out of cereal straw and other agricultural residues. A further important factor in favour of the mini paper plants is that their consumption of chemicals is far less than in the large scale units, and the power requirements are also less. The quality of paper produced in mini paper plants is, however, some what inferior to that obtainable in large scale units.
It may be noted here, that while the large units form the care of the industry, the mini plants can play a very effective role by augumenting the indigenous production of several varieties of paper where quality is not of prime importance, and effectively utilizing the vast resources of unconventional raw materials, which have hither to been rather untapped.
