Kagazbazar: General Defects in Paper

 

General defects in Paper   

Papermaking, is a statistical process wherein furnish containing fibers, fines, colloidal suspensions and emulsions are spreaded on endless running wire, to form a sheet.
Papermaking Has Heterogeneity: Heterogeneity of furnish & process variables in sheet forming, pressing, drying, calendaring like winding, slitting, finishing, packing, transportation and storage are liable to develop some defects in paper. The defect in final product observed during inspection/quality control, can thus be classified from their point of origin viz.

Defects Due to ..

furnish - composition like

winding and slitting like

formation-effect of machine components like

packing and storage :

  • Dirt
  • Shives, Slivers 
  • Surface size
  • Specks
  • Spots due to dye, Rosin, Starch
  • Shadow marking.

 

  • Uneven edges
  • Adhesive tape adhering 
  • slitter dust
  • Hard or soft spots
  • Loose edges
  • Bump or dent on reel belly, deformation 
  • Scraps or sample cuts or snapping of paper 
  • poor joint 
  • Rough slitting
  • Wrinkles
  • Baring or piping
  • Waviness due to tension variation and joints
  • Knife jumping, Telescopic due to loose paper/core.
  • Pin holes
  • Wet streaks
  • Wire line 
  • Water/Condensate dripping
  • Felt crushing
  • Dryer picking
  • Seam marks
  • Calender stamping
  • Hard and soft spots
  • Air, bubbles, foam
  • Surface and structural sidedness
  • Dandy picking
  • Fluff loose fibres
  • Cloudy formation
  • Calender Blackening
  • Uneven caliper, moisture, basis weight.
  • Dirt Piercing from floor before wrapping
  • Cracked edges.

 

 

 

General Terminology used in defects of paper :

 

Terminology

Description
Cockle Local deformation of a sheet of paper due to unequal shrinkage giving a slightly crumpled appearance.
Composition of Paper Nature and proportions of the components fibrous and non-fibrous constituents of the paper, as determined by suitable analysis
Cooking Treatment of fibrous raw material by heat in presence of water with added chemicals with or without pressure to product pulp.
Countraries Any visible matter that may be present and which is unwanted in the pulp (prior to stiff or stock preparation), stuff or paper under consideration .
Crushing Defect in paper , in the form of a local clotting caused by disturbances of the formation of already formed wet web by pressure or excessive moisture at the web end .
Curl Deformation of a sheet of paper or board, over all its surface which therefore tends to roll up into the form of a cylinder .
Dusting The separation of particles from the dry sheets by simple agitation or rubbing.
Felt mark

Imprint left on the paper by the paper -machine felt due to the pressure of the felt in it .

Fluff Loose particles removed from the surface and the edges of paper by agitation or rubbing (see also dusting).
Foam marks A defect in paper caused by the presence of foam in the stock as it comes from the head box on to the paper wire machine. It is also called "Froth spots " .
Rattle The sound produce when a sheet of paper is shaken . It is used as a rough and ready method of judging quality .
Show-through The condition where printing on one side of the sheet can be seen from the other side when it is viewed by reflected light .
Translucent paper (show - through) Paper which permits the partial transmission of light but through which objects can be distinguish visually only when the paper is in direct contact with them.
Two -Siddedness An unlimited difference of varying degree in surface texture or shade existing between the two faces of a sheet of paper or board , which is inherent in the method of manufactures .
