Hey there! As a supplier of Tissue Making Machines, I often get asked about how these nifty contraptions actually work. So, let's dive right in and break down the working principle of a tissue making machine.
The Basics of Tissue Making
First off, let's understand what we're aiming to produce. Tissue paper is that soft, absorbent stuff we use for all sorts of things, like wiping our noses, cleaning up spills, or even in the kitchen for drying hands. A tissue making machine is designed to take raw materials and turn them into the finished tissue products we use every day.
Raw Materials
The main raw material for tissue paper is usually wood pulp. This can come from different types of trees, and sometimes recycled paper is also used. The wood pulp is in a sort of fibrous, wet state when it first arrives at the tissue making process. Other additives might be thrown in too, like chemicals to make the paper softer or more absorbent.
Pulping Process
The first step in the tissue making machine's operation is the pulping process. Here, the raw wood pulp (or recycled paper) is mixed with water in a big tank called a pulper. This mixture is then agitated to break down the fibers and create a pulp slurry. The consistency of this slurry is crucial; it needs to be just right so that the next steps can work properly.
Think of it like making a smoothie. You've got all your ingredients (the wood pulp and water), and you're blending them up until you get a nice, uniform mixture. In the case of tissue making, the "smoothie" is the pulp slurry that will eventually become tissue paper.
Forming the Paper Web
Once the pulp slurry is ready, it's time to start forming the paper web. The slurry is pumped onto a moving wire mesh screen, which is part of the forming section of the tissue making machine. As the slurry moves along the screen, the water starts to drain away through the mesh. This leaves behind a thin layer of fibers that begin to bond together to form the basic structure of the paper.
It's a bit like making a thin layer of pancake batter on a griddle. As the water evaporates from the batter, it solidifies into a pancake. Similarly, as the water drains from the pulp slurry, the fibers in the slurry start to stick together to form the paper web.
Pressing and Drying
After the paper web is formed, it moves into the pressing section. Here, the web passes through a series of rollers that apply pressure to squeeze out more water. This helps to further bond the fibers together and increase the strength of the paper.
Next up is the drying section. The paper web is passed over a series of heated cylinders, which dry it completely. The heat causes the remaining water in the paper to evaporate, leaving behind a dry, strong tissue paper. The temperature and speed of the drying process are carefully controlled to ensure that the paper has the right properties, like softness and absorbency.
Converting the Tissue
Once the tissue paper is dry, it's time to convert it into the final products we're familiar with. This can involve cutting the paper into the right size and shape, folding it, and packaging it.
For example, if we're making facial tissues, the paper might be cut into individual sheets, folded in a specific way, and then packed into boxes. If it's toilet paper, the paper is usually wound onto rolls. There are different types of machines for these conversion processes, depending on the specific product you're making.
Types of Tissue Making Machines
There are several types of tissue making machines available, each designed for different purposes. For instance, the Fully Automatic Tissue Paper Making Machine is a great option if you're looking for a high - efficiency, automated solution. It can handle all the steps from pulping to converting with minimal human intervention.
On the other hand, if you're interested in making kitchen rolls, the Kitchen Roll Making Machine is specifically designed for that purpose. It can produce high - quality kitchen rolls with the right size and absorbency.
And of course, the general Tissue Making Machine is a versatile option that can be used to make a variety of tissue products.
