The quality of wood chips is crucial for the manufacturing of pulp, and we offer several different analyses to ensure the quality of the chips. By carefully examining and assessing various properties, we can identify any deficiencies or deviations that may affect the production process and the quality of the resulting pulp.

One of the most important parameters we analyze is the bark content in the wood chips. Bark can negatively impact the quality of pulp by introducing unwanted contaminants or chemicals into the process. By measuring the bark content, we can assess how well the chips have been cleaned and prepared for pulp manufacturing.

The moisture content in the wood chips is also a vital parameter that we analyze. Correct moisture content is crucial for achieving desired production results and for avoiding problems such as overcooking or difficulties in achieving the desired pulp consistency.

By carefully measuring and evaluating these and other parameters, we can provide our customers with a comprehensive assessment of the quality of the wood chips and identify any areas for improvement. We always strive to ensure that the chips meet high standards to ensure efficient and high-quality pulp production.

The properties of wood chips are critical to ensuring an efficient and high-quality cooking process in the pulp and paper industry. One of the most important properties that we carefully monitor and control is bulk density. Bulk density refers to the amount of pulp that a given volume of wood chips occupies and is therefore an indicator of the density or packing density of the chips.

Bulk density is especially important when it comes to trading wood and chips. It affects the efficiency of transportation and thus the transportation costs of the chips. Wood chips with high bulk density occupy less volume and can therefore be transported more efficiently, which can reduce transportation and storage costs for both suppliers and buyers. On the other hand, wood chips with low bulk density may require larger volumes to be transported to achieve the same amount of pulp, which can result in higher costs and inefficiency.

This parameter gives us an indication of how tightly packed the bark is, which can affect the flowability of the chips and their ability to absorb cooking chemicals during the process.

We also examine the dimensions of the bark to assess its uniformity and any deviations. Even distribution of bark sizes is desirable to ensure uniform cooking and quality of the resulting pulp. Wood chips with high bulk density may have more efficient liquid absorption and chemical penetration during cooking, resulting in a more uniform and efficient cooking process. However, wood chips with low bulk density may potentially have difficulty absorbing liquids and chemicals, which can affect the efficiency and quality of the cooking process.

By carefully monitoring and controlling the bulk density of the wood chips, we can optimize the cooking process to achieve desired results and ensure efficient use of the raw material. This is crucial for maintaining high production quality and minimizing costs and resource wastage in pulp production.

The thickness of wood chips is a crucial property that has a significant impact on several aspects of the impregnation process in the pulp and paper industry. This property affects not only how effectively the chips absorb liquids and chemicals but also the quality and homogeneity of the resulting pulp.
