Pulp & Paper

Pulp and paper refers to the process of making all types of paper products from wood fiber.

Disc chippers primarily manufacture clean chips after some form of debarking.

Chips are made from softwood and hardwood trees but are segregated at paper mills and processed separately.

Pulp is a fibrous cellulosic material prepared chemically, semi-chemically, or mechanically, producing cellulosic fibers from wood fiber. Fiber requirements for different paper types determine whether softwood or hardwood is used exclusively or if a blend of softwood and hardwood fiber is required. Chips will be pulped chemically or using a thermo-mechanical process (TMP).
