Mission

Continuously provide the paper machine with sufficient quantities of pulp that meet the quality standards of the industry at competitive costs while respecting the regulations governing safety and environmental standards.

Description

Our new thermo-mechanical pulping (TMP) plant uses a single series of Sunds CD-82 two-stage refiners and related equipment that are capable of producing, at full capacity, 740 tonnes of bone dry pulp per day. The wood chips from nearby sawmills are delivered by truck and divided into two piles of low-density and high-density chips. The wood chips are then reclaimed, screened, heated and washed prior to being conveyed into the impregnation vessel for final soaking before moving on to the refining stage. The saturated wood chips are then heated and discharged into the primary and secondary refiners. The refined pulp is screened, thickened and stored in a high-density tower, from where it is pumped to the paper machine. The dirty steam generated by the refining process goes through a heat recovery process, where it is reused for producing the clean steam used by the paper machine dryers.
