    This is the following report that was told as “The Approach for No Manual Sorting System-The labor-saving history in sheet finishing process” at Japan TAPPI Annual Meeting in 2006. The previous report dealt with paper finishing without resorting based on “the quality verification activity”. In this report, the labor-saving strategy by finishing line renewal is described. The labor-saving is achieved by the combination of the quality verification chain and the latest paper finishing machinery.

    The N-1 Coater Machine at Yonago mill, Oji Paper, has been operating since September 1997. The coating width of this coater machine is 7,290 mm and the design coating speed is 1,600 m⁄min, it produces 835 tpd of woodfree coated paper.
    The Janus Calender has installed next to the coating section as an on-line supercalender, which was the first case in the world. For the purpose of adopting on-line supercalender was to reduce initial investments and maintenance costs, to achieve higher personnel productivity, and to produce coated paper of better quality. This Janus Calender consists of 2 stacks with each 5 rolls, it can get the quality that is similar to an off-line supercalender. This article introduces the latest operating experiences of the N-1 Coater Machine and the Janus Calender.

    Slitting technology has been subject to rapid developments in recent years. With today’s top-quality tools, slitting at higher speeds is no longer wishful thinking. At the same time, better results are achieved in terms of edge quality, dust generation and knife service life. This means, that in many existing slitting systems, there is an enormous efficiency and cost-saving potential, which should be tapped by applying state of the art technologies.
    The history of continuous slitting goes back to 150 years and Dienes has been involved in making this history for at least half of that period. This is documented by numerous national and international patents.
    Dienes’ scope of supply includes the respective slitting tools like dished, top and bottom knives as well as multiple knife blocks of different material quality and surface finish and last but not least knife positioning systems in manual, semi- or fully-automatic design.

    In January 2005, and after a two year rebuilding program concentrated on improvements to the production system, Oji Sobue restarted paper machine # 7 producing Linerboard. The main objective of this rebuild program was to introduce the latest technologies available to the industry to maximize production efficiencies with special emphasis on the newest Slitting positioning system developed by German machine manufacture. This slitting positioning system was the first one of its kind installed in Japan. The improvements of the slitting system have reduced substantially the number of mechanical breakdowns and machine stoppages, while dramatically improving slitting accuracy, quality and cleanliness while practically eliminating any dust problems, which previously were an area of great concern to Oji Sobue.
    These improvements helped reduce operating costs and improve quality with fewer blade changes easier maintenance and operator friendly interfaces, the solution of the dust problems contributed for the elimination of a dust collecting system, thus also contributing for significant energy savings.

    The single drum winding is better winding solution for high density and smooth product. Especially WFC paper grade requires premium quality of roll hardness structure without any winding faults. On the single drum winder, each paper roll is wound in a separate station and supported on a single drum. Each winding station is practically a separate machine. Therefore this type of winder is technologically predestined for various ranges of paper grades and product needs. However, operation resources and high maintenance was required. The VariPlus single drum concept has been thoroughly modernized with a much higher degree of automation. We Voith aim thereby to enhance machine productivity by increasing operating speed without risk and optimizing automation for greatest reliability and time savings.

    Precipitated calcium carbonate is produced as a by-product in the causticizing process of the kraft pulping process. There are many advantages to use this by-product, causticizing calcium carbonate (CCC) , as filler and coating pigment in paper. By using this CCC for paper materials, lime-kiln operation would be reduced or eliminated, resulting in the reduction of fuel oil for calcination of calcium carbonate. Furthermore, accumulated impurities in the lime cycle can be removed constantly. In our previous reports, we showed that CCC particles with a various kind of morphology were obtained by separating and precisely controlling the two reactions of slaking and causticizing in the causticizing process. Among these morphologies, rice-like particles can be produced with the least process modification. Then, production trials at laboratory, pilot, and mill scale plant were carried out to investigate the possibility of production of the rice-like CCC at mill.
    Since main purpose of causticizing process is to produce white liquor, the white liquor separation from the CCC slurry is very important for kraft pulp production. To increase the particle size of CCC is one of the most promising way to accelerate the white liquor separation. Therefore, the production methods of the secondary particles having larger particle size were investigated by the step-wise addition and the continuous addition of slaked lime slurry and green liquor against the primary particle. In this paper, results of the production trails of the rice-like CCC at laboratory, pilot, and mill scale plant are reported.

    Acacia auriculiformis was subjected to kraft pulping by varying operational variables, such as time, temperature, and active alkali charge. A central composite design was used to investigate the influence of operational conditions on the pulp properties (total pulp yield, screened pulp yield, kappa number tensile index, burst index and tear index) . A second order polynomial model consisting of three independent variables was found to accurately describe the kraft pulping of Acacia auriculiformis. The minimum R2 value was above 0.94, which supported well fitting in the proposed equation. The values of screened pulp yield, total pulp yield, kappa number, tensile index, burst index and tear index at the central point of operational variables were 43.5%, 44.6%, 26.1, 41.7 N.m⁄g, 3.3 kPa.m2⁄g and 12.3 mN.m2⁄g, respectively, which are within the vicinity of predicted value.
