Unique expertise at the cutting edge of technology
Stage 1
Preparing the doughWith a daily capacity of 1,300 t, the preparation workshop produces pulp from recycled fibres.
The cleaned pulp is then sent to the storage tower to feed the machine.
Step 2
Canvas sectionIt is at this stage that the sheet is formed. A fibrous suspension, made up of 99 water and 1 fibre, is injected between two webs. The result is a homogeneous, symmetrical sheet measuring 9m, the full width of the machine.
Step 3
Section pressesThe water contained in the sheet is gradually eliminated by passing it through two presses.
This process also helps to strengthen the sheet by bonding the fibres together.
Step 4
Drying plantThis stage allows the residual water to evaporate by successive contact of the sheet with heated cylinders.
Step 5
EnductionAt this stage, the application of a layer of starch to both sides of the sheet gives it its important mechanical characteristics.
Step 6
Post-droughtAfter being moistened with starch, the leaf is dried again.
Step 7
Winding and rewindingThe sheet is wound onto a steel mandrel to form a mother reel, which can reach a maximum developed length of 55 km. This is then unwound, cut and rewound onto a cardboard core to produce the daughter reels.
Step 8
Storage and shippingThe reels are transported to a fully-automated storage hall, awaiting dispatch to customers.
The transport and logistics department ensures delivery within a 1,000 km radius across Europe.
