    Amapa Florestal e Celulose S. A. (AMCEL), with the total area of 300,000 ha in Amapa state located in northern Brazil, operates eucalyptus plantation and wood chip production. AMCEL has outstanding features of flat and large bundled land, the distance to the chip mill and the port, abundant precipitation and warm climate. However, AMCEL could not make the most of these features because the growth of trees of plantation was not very good. After the purchase of AMCEL in December 2006, AMCEL has started the original selection and breeding program. As a result of continuous practice of the program, the growth of the trees was greatly improved.
    The author stationed in AMCEL from 2009 to 2012 as a supervisor of Research Department and had been working on the improvement of tree growth and property through tree breeding program. In this report the business summary of AMCEL will be presented. Then the relationship between tree growth and the tree property of clonal forest, such as KP yield and wood basic density measured by rapid analyses method, will be discussed.

    In recent years, neutral papermaking, high-ash content of the printing paper and weight reduction in paperboard is in progress. At the same time, increase in the blending ratio of waste paper, closed water system, paper recycling rate, attributable to these trouble of deposit on the machine that has increased in the wet section, to pursue quality improvement and production efficiency and stability operations, has become a major issue.
    Maintech has developed new “On-press®” and “Pitch guard®” series.
    Release agent “On-press®” greatly improve the sheet release performance from press roll, especially Center Press Roll. Cleaning and prevention agent “Pitch guard®” significantly reduce stickies and other deposition in the wet section.
    This report describes the concept and mechanism about “On-press®” and “Pitch guard®” series, and introduces actual case studies about pitch prevention, sheet, release improvement.

    In recent years the operation troubles of paper machine and its quality problems occur more frequently due to foreign materials including sticky pitch coming from increasing recycled paper usage. The sticky materials and pitch on canvas causes paper break at dryer, faulty spot, frequent splicing at winder, which decrease productivity.
    Screening, pitch control chemical, high pressure water has been used to improve these situations, but these measures cannot solve the problems completely.
    We, AOKI Machinery, has been developed “AOKI CLEANER”, an epoch-making blade type canvas cleaner. Let us introduce its mechanism and some operation facts.

    Over the past years, Taiheiyo Engineering Corporation (TEC), Tokyo has conducted numerous investigations in cement plants around the world for various clients who have process and operation problems or who are planning for innovations.
    TEC have developed successful techniques to diagnose the existing cement plants and to overcome the existing process⁄operational problems and to reduce the fuel consumption and thus assuring stable kiln operation.
    In the paper industry in Japan is implementing various measures to reduce the fuel consumption.
    Although a certain improvement has been obtained, but not to the extent of large reduction of fuel consumption is obtained, so far.
    Hence based on energy-saving technology adopted in cement plants, TEC has conducted extensive study in Lime Kiln operation achieved following successful results towards reduction of the fuel consumption.
    1) Diagnosis of Lime Kiln : TEC have conducted a diagnosis study on existing Lime Kiln towards the existing process⁄operational problems and to found optimal countermeasures for reduction of the fuel consumption.
    2) Replacement of existing Kiln Burner : By replacing the existing Kiln Burner with Taiheiyo’s TMP Burner (Taiheiyo Multi-purpose Burner), TEC achieved improved burnability efficiency and reduction in the amount of primary air.
    3) Adjustment of Lime Cooler : For the improvement of heat recovery efficiency of existing Lime Kiln Cooler, Grate Speed Control and Airflow Control was adopted to Lime Kiln Cooler, for better cooling efficiency.
    4) Adjustment of Kiln Operation : TEC has reduced the amount of water at the Lime Kiln Inlet Housing, thus optimizing the O2 concentration control, and the raw meal filling ratio in the Lime Kiln.
    As a result of adopting above mentioned countermeasures, TEC achieved a 13% to 15% reduction of the fuel consumption.

    Although the growth rate has become slow down recently, Chinese paper industry still keeps higher level of its expansion. Our company continues supplying formers from the beginning of 1980, and we take pride in having supported the growth of industry. The occurrence which has deeply recognized us, is a remarkable progress of Lee & Man Paper Manufacturing Ltd. which acquired the 2nd place of paper and paperboard production in China. It was only a 100,000-ton⁄year with two paper machines until 1999, however, it has become the production capacity of 30 times or more in about ten years. The opportunity of employing the first Success Former for PM 3 in 2000, may have become a landmark for the subsequent progress of Lee & Man Paper. Success Former features both high quality and productivity with excellent energy saving former operation. The results are four continuous repeat orders for PM 5, PM 10, PM 11 and PM 13, respectively. The forming sections of all above machine consist of three-ply Success Formers with sheet transfer felt systems.
    In order to meet an industrial demand for producing light-weight linerboard, two-ply on top former with fourdrinier as a base-ply, was installed as PM 16 in 2011. The top former is a Success Former which has received high reputation from the customer. This paper makes the introduction of the forming section of PM 16, and reports the conditions of its successful start-up.

  • The New Internal Sizing Agent for Paperboard as an Alternative to Rosin Materials

    In recent paperboard manufacturing, recycled paper is used as the main raw material. The recycled material involves deteriorated fiber and much filler such as calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Higher CaCO3 content in pulp slurry will increase pH, therefore acid additives such as alum will be neutralized and easily lose their ability. To make matter worse, Paper manufacturers will tend to avoid the addition of acidic compounds. Higher pH condition and lower addition level of Alum causes lower sizing degree, in particular the case of rosin size.
    In neutral-alkaline papermaking condition, AKD or ASA is commonly used instead of rosin-Alum system. However, in the case of paperboard, slow speed in inducing sizing of AKD, paper slipperiness trouble, and deposit or poor machine runability trouble on ASA will be recognized. In this report, a new type sizing agent will be introduced. It must cover wide range pH of wet-end condition and can be possible to replace rosin-Alum system.

    Due to their low specific gravity, porous fillers, including precipitating silica, have, in recent years, been increasingly used as additives (fillers) for the purpose of increasing paper bulkiness (reducing weight). The use of porous fillers has advantages such as continued utilization of existing equipment without the occurrence of discoloration problems inherent with mechanical pulps. However, problems such as degraded paper strength still remain to be solved. In view of this, we have conducted a study in an attempt to develop a high quality porous filler with superior bulkiness performance, excellent opacity and minimal degradation in paper strength.
    This report reveals that a porous filler with minimized degradation in paper strength, high bulkiness performance, and excellent opacity has been obtained by optimizing the primary particle diameter and the secondary coagulation particle diameter.
