JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe production of the pulping process (KP) in Kishu mill had depended on the pulp demand of the paper machines. So that the production had so much fluctuated because of grade change, shut down, paper break, and so on, and that given negative effects to the pulping process. In order to solve this issue, we installed the pulp machine. Now, this one works as a buffer. Thanks to the pulp machine, the pulping process is able to keep the constant production despite the pulp demand of the paper machines.
In this paper, we introduce the outline of the new pulp machine and the positive effect from that.View full abstractDownload PDF (376K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSPremiumNews, an innovative product for newsprint, is the world’s first glossy newsprint paper for high speed web offset printing presses without dryers. Generally, coated papers and supercalendered papers are not applied to newsprint presses without dryers due to the slow drying of the ink, and it was thought to be impossible to achieve a glossy, clean print finish with newsprint. However, we started to develop the world’s first glossy newsprint in a joint project with Asahi Printech, Asahi Shimbun, and Sakata Inx. After overcoming many challenges, we finally found a way to manufacture glossy newsprint with a clean finish by optimizing both the coating (through pigment selection) and the base paper. In addition, Frequency-Modulation screening plates and high consistency ink contribute to further improve the clean finish by reducing the amount of ink required. Consequently we have succeeded in manufacturing glossy newsprint, “PremiumNews”, on a commercial basis.View full abstractDownload PDF (351K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe aimed to enter into North American Market in the field of coated paper, especially in ultra-light weight coated paper. The target area is West Coast of North America, where there are very few competitional paper makers. We tried to make sales to major publishers in North America. These major publishers are said to have their severe quality demands against coated paper supplier. Because of this, once we started to make sales to major publishers after passing their demands in coated paper quality, it should be a powerful anouncement and advertising effects for other publishers and printers. During our new development of ultra-light weight coated paper, we found that basis weight, opacity and printabilty for high speed printing are the most important factors for this kind of paper. This report will introduce the outline of our development in ultra-light weight coated paper for new entry into North American Market.View full abstractDownload PDF (510K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSFillerTEK technology from Nalco allows papermakers to increase the sheet ash content up to 5 points without compromising quality of their product and operations. At the same time, the drying energy is substantially reduced. This technology combines several aspects of chemical and mechanical approaches to make higher filler content achievable while maintaining strength and printability. Increased content of engineered filler substitutes expensive fiber furnish at a fraction of the cost, saves drying energy costs and increases a mill’s profitability. FillerTEK technology is based on minimizing the interference with the fiber-to-fiber bonding strength network.
The technology is designed to work for calcium carbonate filler types used for wet end addition. Controlled size distribution and excellent stability of filler flocs provides strength, while other sheet and printing properties are well maintained.
The treatment of fresh filler is done directly in the process with no holding time required before use and with minimal adjustments to wet-end and paper making processes. This filler preflocculation technology has been successfully demonstrated in various pilot paper machine and commercial machine trials, resulting in several global references. In this paper, the results from a commercial application are presented.View full abstractDownload PDF (597K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIt is a common subject to keep the balance between good formation and high level of first pass retention, especially first pass ash retention for cost down, energy and natural resource saving. To obtain a high performance of retention system, the actual conditions, such as types of paper machine, sorts of paper product should be considered. Not only characteristics of individual polymer, but also their combination is very important for design the system. This paper illustrates with examples, the relationship between the amount of cationic group in PAM and content of calcium carbonate in furnish etc. It also gives an assessment of different retention system by using DFS, DDA, and Flocky Tester. The results show that the newly developed retention system, which is consist of cationic PAM and anionic PAM, is both in high ash retention and low volume of Flocky Test, foresighted a good formation.View full abstractDownload PDF (435K) -

Research team for acid - free paper technology in Hachinohe mill2012 Volume 66 Issue 4 Pages 367-380
Published: 2012
Released on J-STAGE: April 01, 2013
JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn recent years, most of the printing paper is acid-free paper produced in neutral or weakly basic condition, and it is more difficult to find the acidic paper in the market.
In addition, even newsprints read every morning are also becoming acid-free paper in Japan.
In 1980 s, the deterioration of books in libraries gain the attention of the public worldwide, and minimization of the sulfate radical which made the printing paper deteriorated and shift to acid-free paper which have the excellent self life were required also in Japan.
At that point, some special paper had already been acid-free but most general printing paper was still in the predawn to acid-free in Japan.
Mitsubishi Paper Mills Ltd was not the first paper mill to start development of acid-free paper in the market. However, we combined acid-free paper making and high solid content coating as the project according to the beneficial information of experience and knowledge in both North America and Europe, and this combination could made the whole plant promptly converted to the acid-free system, and the project finalized. As the result, high-quality acid-free paper and coated acid-free paper could be quick commercialized in Nakagawa mill and in Hachinohe mill respectively.
Since approximately 30 years after the first mill trial of acid-free paper and more than 20 years after completion of acid-free system have passed, the background and technical approach on development of acid-free paper mainly for coated paper in Hachinohe mill at that point is here reported with the aim of technical succession and conservation.View full abstractDownload PDF (852K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSArtifact-metrics is a technique to authenticate an artifact based on a measurable intrinsic characteristic made during the manufacturing process. The intrinsic physical feature can be hardly controlled and copied even for a legal manufacturer, so can be used as an anti-counterfeit feature in the artifact. One of the most important requirements for intrinsic characteristic for artifact-metrics is individuality. It requires that the intrinsic characteristic of each artifact sufficiently differs. It keeps the artifact-metric system resistant to brute force attack. A transmitted light image of paper can be used for artifact-metrics, since the fiber distribution of paper is random. In this paper, we investigate FMR⁄FNMR curves as results for matching tests using several paper varieties and matching size of sample with the transmitted light image of paper. Through a matching method based on line segments for the test using sheets of recycled paper, we found estimated EER of under 10-20 of EER. It was conformed that the transmitted light image of recycled paper has a sufficient individuality for the artifact-metrics.View full abstractDownload PDF (441K)
