Description
The term 'broke' refers to any formed paper from the beginning of the paper making process to the finished product. Broke will exist in many forms and varying quantities and it will always be generated by the paper making process. Depending on the particular case, machine broke will be generated at different locations.
The main goal of a broke system is to return the paper fibre back to the process with no disruption in the uniformity and quality of the stock flowing to the paper machine. The amount of broke produced during papermaking is normally 5 – 20% of the machine capacity.
This case study describes, how in the pilot industry, the paper machine broke and trimmings generated were collected and fed back into the pulper for reprocessing,
