Wood and cellulose pulp analyzes
Wood is one of the most important variables in pulp production and it places high demands on the control of incoming wood materials to the mills. The following wood and pulp analyzes provide information with regard to the economic value of the fibre, processability and pulp and paper properties.
Purpose
RISE has extensive experience in closely collaborating with factories across various industries, including the wood and pulp industry. Through our close collaboration and expertise in process analysis, we have helped companies improve their production processes and solve complex problems.
Utilizing our advanced fiber line analyses, we can quickly and cost-effectively identify and address challenges that arise in the production process. By carefully analyzing data from fibre lines, we can optimize process steps to increase efficiency, reduce waste, and enhance product quality.
We offer a wide range of analyses and services that can be tailored to your specific needs and challenges. Examples of our analyses include:
Fibre analysis: We can perform detailed analyses of fibre samples to characterize properties such as fibre length, fibre distribution, and fibre strength. This information can be used to optimize fibre mixes and improve paper quality.
Process optimization: We can utilize advanced modeling tools and simulation programs to optimize various process steps and maximize production capacity.
Problem identification and problem solving: If you encounter specific problems or challenges in your production process, our experts can analyze the situation and develop tailored solutions to effectively solve the problems.
RISE has extensive experience in working within the process in close collaboration with factories. With the help of our fibre line analyses, results and solutions can be obtained quickly and cost-effectively. This ensures that optimization, development, and problem-solving of various process steps within wood and pulp are as effective as possible. Feel free to discuss with us which analyses are suitable for your business.
Methods
RISE can analyze wood and pulp through a variety of analyses and measurement methods established within the wood and pulp industry to characterize and assess various properties of raw materials, processes, and end products. Below is a more detailed explanation of some of the most common analyses and measurement methods:
