JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn the Folio sheet cutter of our factory, because jamming occurred when adsorption timing of sheet slipped off in a suction box part, we adjusted a timing at the change of dimension and change of shifts. Because products exhausted at this time, it became the factor of a decrease in product yield. In addition, because the jumping out of the sheet occurs to a product when we adjust a timing, it was necessary to sort a product. Therefore we installed an image processing device and worked on loss reduction.View full abstractDownload PDF (435K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSJapanese paper companies have to enhance the export with international competitiveness due to the decline of the domestic demand. According with the export strategy of Hokuetsu Kishu Paper, Hokuetsu Kamiseisen has built up the machinery. We target the export sheet paper that is in a good demand. Export sheet paper is relatively small, that affects the cut efficiency. In choosing the machines, strong wrapping that endures the marine shipment is also an important point. Machines we introduce are as follows, Pasaban-made 2 sheet cutter machines operated since 2013 spring, Maruishi-made1ream wrapping machine operated since 2012 autumn, JTEC-made1skid wrapping machine operated since 2012 spring. We report the operating experiences of new sheet finishing machines.View full abstractDownload PDF (465K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSPigment use and formulation practice in coated papers has seen marked changes in the past 40 years. In general the trend was for coatings to become increasingly more sophisticated in order to meet the advertising world’s need for better visual image. That together with machinery advances had driven significant pigment developments up until the mid-2000’s.
Now, however, the world has changed. The global downturn in 2008⁄9 together with ever increasing competition between print and digital media has fundamentally changed the global paper industry. It is clear that cost is now the main driver affecting coating recipe design and developments focused purely on improving quality are now largely a thing of the past.
In this paper we explore the changes in the global and Asian paper markets that have occurred since the peak in 2007 and how these changes have affected pigment demand, pigment use and formulation design.
We conclude by looking at what this could mean for future pigment demand and show how kaolin, which has declined recently in recipes, can still bring value to paper making.View full abstractDownload PDF (914K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWith pulp prices being high, fine paper makers looking to reduce costs are constantly trying to increase the filler level in their paper. The optical properties will often benefit from increased filler content but the mechanical properties will deteriorate and the retention can be difficult to maintain. The reasons for a weaker paper sheet in a highly filled paper are fewer fibres per unit volume paper and filler particles interfering and disturbing the formation of fibre⁄fibre bonds plus the risk of filler particles creating defects in the paper material 1). Besides elevating fibre cost, the deteriorating quality of raw material has rapidly increase the need of strength enhancement additive. The amount of paper and board that is being recycled is increasing and therefore rapidly decreasing the amount of fresh fibre addition. Addition to the above mentioned strength deteriorating factor, the drive to decrease the basis weight of both paper and board has also directly impact on higher strength enhancement requirement.
In order to answer the needs of the paper and board industry on strength enhancement, our goal is to increase the in-plane and out-of-plane strength by 20 and 30% respectively or decreasing basis weight of packaging material by 10-15%.
To achieve higher filler levels and maintain or improve the quality of the paper a new concept has been developed, the so-called EcoFillTM system. EcoFill™ consists of a filler modification system, including an on-line filler treatment system, with charge control additives and an engineered cellulose additive. The engineered cellulose additive (ECA) improves the bonding at the interface between the filler particles and between the filler and fiber in the sheet. This gives significant internal bond improvements. The charge control components enable a good bonding between the filler and the ECA and secures that the wet-end conditions are stable for optimum performance of other wet-end additives such as sizing agents.View full abstractDownload PDF (394K)

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe infrared method is the most popular to measure the moisture content in the coated layer on the paper sheets or polymer films. But this method is not suitable for measuring only a little moisture content, for example less than 1%, with high accuracy because of the influence of the disturbance such as heat source. It is also affected by the color of the sample in principle. In order to solve these problems, a new moisture analyzer using a microwave resonator has been developed. This is based on the difference of the dielectric loss between the water and the paper sheets or polymer films. This report describes the measurement principle, some data and a few applications of the new moisture analyzer.View full abstractDownload PDF (486K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSBase weight reduction is a very useful way for many board manufactures to save natural resource, and reduce carbon dioxide emission. But in the mean time, the cost is increasing because more starch or other dry strength agent is needed for keeping the same sheet strength. This paper aimed at how to effectively use the starch resource in the raw material of old corrugated container, which is contented of several percent of corrugating adhesive starch. However, the starch is usually difficult to retentive and easily bio-degraded in the paper making process. It could be solved by a properly designed microbe control system and a new developed starch fixing agent. As a result of mill trial, not only improvement of the sheet strength but also a lower COD in the effluent was achieved.View full abstractDownload PDF (387K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSRecently, many paper mills have been monitored the abundance and distribution of insects as a part of pest control inside of each factory. The light traps with sticky sheets are often used in monitoring of insects. In generally, the sticky sheets are replaced approximately every one month, and collected insects are counted and identified by technician. Pest Control Operators (PCO) have been controlled the insects based on the results of monitoring and worked to maintain and improve the sanitation management of the production area. However, because of response to growing safety awareness of consumers from year to year, PCO are necessary to control the insects by more rapid and lower environmental impact.
In this paper, I elucidate the efficient original monitoring methods and effective original control methods in various manufacturing factories including paper mills.View full abstractDownload PDF (532K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe long-awaited legal framework to establish the European Patent with Unitary Effect and Unified Patent Court was concluded in February, 2013. The Unitary Patent package is composed of two EU Regulations for Unitary Patent and one Agreement for Unified Patent Court.
While some users look forward to the new patent system because it is believed to be more convenient and more effective than the current European patent system, some users are concerned about the complexity and uncertainty. In order for Japanese users to become more familiar with it, this article illustrates the background of the discussion and overview of the Unitary Patent package.
Unlike the classical European Patent, which is so-called “the bundle of national patents,” the Unitary Patent will bring a unitary effect within the territory of all the participating member states and it seems to become an efficient tool if an applicant needs to acquire the patent protection in many states in Europe. However, the procedure of the Unitary Patent from filing to registration will be done before the European Patent Office, based on the European Patent Convention. Thus, the examination process of the Unitary Patent, basically, will not be different from that of the classical European Patent.
The Unified Patent Court is a new centralized patent litigation system in Europe and will have the exclusive jurisdiction for any infringement cases and revocation cases of both the Unitary Patent and the classical European Patents after the 7 years or 14 years of transitional period. The Unitary Patent and Unified Patent Court are hoped to become one of the useful tools for Japanese users who run the business in broad areas in Europe as well as European users.View full abstractDownload PDF (1037K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSMannitol is a well-known radical trapping reagent, though the trapping effect is difficult to confirm in a Fenton reaction. Under acidic conditions, mannitol was consumed during the Fenton reaction, as well as other substrates, such as vanillyl alcohol, veratryl alcohol and Methyl-β-D-glucopyranoside. Under alkaline conditions, however, only mannitol was consumed during the reaction.
When we investigated the solubility of iron (II) and (III), which work as catalysts to initiate the Fenton reaction, the addition of mannitol was found to help dissolve the iron compounds in alkaline solution, especially those exceeding pH 10, though iron compounds are not soluble under such alkaline conditions. Based on this result, mannitol is considered to form a complex with iron (II) and (III) ions under these conditions and the hydroxyl radical (HO•) generated by the reaction between hydrogen peroxide and iron (II) and (III) complex of mannitol will attack the mannitol because it is the compound nearest the site where the HO• is generated.View full abstractDownload PDF (362K) -
