Pulp And Paper Industry Pulp And Paper Industry in Pakistan Pulp and paper industry needs attention by government so that its performance may increase further and the sector may flourish in accordance to the available potential therein. For making this sector self reliance, it is important to develop new methods of producing requisite raw material locally and variety of other associated products, research centres in universities should be established. Pulping Puping is done to reduce wood or other fiberous raw material to individual fibers from its surrounding lignin (a non-fiberous material), that binds fibers together, without damaging the fibers. Mechanical Pulping • In Refiner Pulping process rotating disks having serrated or otherwise contoured surfaces. One disk rotates clockwise, while the other rotates counter clockwise, or is stationary. The furnish is pumped through the centre of one of the disks and as centrifugal force throws the furnish toward the perimeter of the disks, it is sandwiched between them. The action of the rotating disks rubs, rolls, cuts, frays, and softens the fibres. The space between the disks can be adjusted, depending on the degree of refining desired.
