Paper grammature is defined as a measure of the weight of a sheet of paper, where paper weight is measured in grams per square meter (gsm) or g/m2. Grammature plays an important role in determining the characteristics of the paper sheet as well as the cutting quality during the cutting process. This final project aims to determine the effect of grammature on cutting quality on folio sheeter mac…
ABSTRACT Size press is a process to improve the quality of the surface properties of sheets by coating using surface sizing and starch. The amount of starch that sticks to the surface of the paper and penetrates into the paper is called size pick up. In this study, the author analyzes what parameters can affect the size pick up value and its relationship to size pick up, this study was conduct…
ABSTRACT The sizing process is an important stage in paper production that aims to improve the surface quality properties of paper, including water absorption, strength, and water resistance. The main chemicals used in the sizing process are native starch and the applicator rod as a means of applying starch to the sheet. These two things greatly affect the quality of the sheet during productio…
ABSTRACT Folio sheeter Machine is a machine that functions to change paper roll into sheets of folio-sized paper which are then stacked on a pallet. Folio paper products that have been arranged on the pallet can be directly packed for bulk orders or sent to the folio sheeter wrapping machine to be wrapped per ream into a ream wrap order. In the process of cutting folio paper, several defec…
ABSTRACT Pulp Dryer is one of the important business units of pulp and paper companies in pulp production that will produce slush pulp into pulp sheet. The main process in producing slush pulp into pulp sheet is the drying process. The drying process occurs in the dryer, where the dryer will require heat to dry the pulp sheet. Heat recovery system is one of the components in the drying process…
ABSTRACT Forming section is one of the key stages in the papermaking process, where fiber sheets begin to form from a mixture of pulp and water. This stage determines the initial characteristics of the paper sheet, including fiber distribution and Dryness. In the papermaking process, the level of Dryness in the forming section is one of the important parameters that affect process efficiency a…
ABSTRACT Recausticizing is a process of chemical recovery plant that is tasked with converting green liquor into white liquor as the main product and lime mud as a by-product. Lime mud is one of the by-products of recycling in the pulp industry process produced from the recausticizing process which has a high CaCO3 content so that it can be used as the main material for the calcination process…
ABSTRACT Defective products are products that have the form of a finished product, but in a condition that is not in accordance with the standards set by the company. Products that experience defects affect the amount of production and production time if the product must be remade. The purpose of the analysis is to find the number of defects, the grade of paper that has defects, the effect of …
The Finishing Department is the final stage of the paperboard product production process, in this area there will be a process of grouping and packaging products based on customer requests. The packaging process has a main machine, namely a pallet packing machine which functions to package products using shrink film plastic material. The packaging process using these tools and materials has…
ABSTRACT The use of steam time and temperature during the preheating and prehydrolysis stages, as well as heating in the cooking process, has a significant impact on the final quality of dissolving pulp (AE). These two parameters result in P-Factors and H-Factors, which are important indicators in determining the quality of dissolving pulp (AE). Understanding the effect of P-Factor and H-F…
ABSTRACT The sedimentation rate in a slurry is the speed at which solid particles settle out of the liquid due to the force of gravity. A dispersant is a dispersing agent used to ensure that the particles in the GCC slurry remain stable, do not clump together, and do not settle. This study aims to determine the effect of dispersant dosage on the sedimentation rate, viscosity, and solid con…
ABSTRACT The manufacturing process of Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC) involves wet grinding which requires a certain energy known as Specific Grinding Energy (SGE). This energy is critical in achieving the desired particle size and has a direct impact on the quality of the final product as well as the efficiency of the energy used in the process. This study aims to analyze the effect of pow…
ABSTRACT The DA stage is an important stage in the process of increasing brightness because the DA stage is a delignification stage to damage and separate the remaining lignin structure in the pulp. This study aims to determine the effect of temperature and time on brightness, fiber morphology and tensile strength. In this study, the DA bleaching process was carried out using chlorine dioxide …
ABSTRACT The rotogravure printing technique is a direct printing technique. Printing techniques in deep printing or rotogravure include direct printing techniques, namely printing raw materials directly in contact with the gravure cylinder as an image carrier. During the production process, there are often production defects such as printing defects. The existence of printing defects in wrappi…
ABSTRACT Wastewater treatment is an important part in supporting the sustainability of pulp and paper industry operations. One of the stages used to improve wastewater quality is the coagulation-flocculation process in tertiary treatment. This study aims to evaluate and compare the performance of two types of coagulants, namely aluminum sulfate (alum) and polyaluminium chloride (PAC), which ar…
Oxygen Plant is a facility that produces oxygen and nitrogen by separating them from atmospheric air.
