Boosting Efficiency: The Role of Polyether Defoamers in Recycled Fiber Processing
The pulp and paper industry is increasingly reliant on recycled fibers to promote sustainability and manage costs. However, processing recycled materials presents unique challenges, particularly regarding foam control and dewatering. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. offers specialized polyether defoamers that are instrumental in overcoming these hurdles, ensuring efficient and high-quality paper production.
Recycled fiber streams are often characterized by a higher concentration of anionic trash and dissolved and colloidal substances (DCS), which are significant contributors to foam formation. Our polyether defoamer is formulated to effectively neutralize these foam-inducing agents, providing rapid defoaming action that is crucial for maintaining process stability. Its ability to achieve over 90% foam reduction within 30 seconds is a testament to its superior performance in these challenging environments.
Beyond immediate foam suppression, the long-term stability of our product ensures continuous effectiveness. It maintains its efficacy across a wide pH range (4-10) and temperatures up to 60°C, making it suitable for diverse operating conditions found in paper mills. This reliability is essential for consistent production outcomes and minimizing process interruptions. For paper mills focused on optimizing their purchase of raw materials and chemicals, understanding the long-term stability of additives like defoamers is key.
One of the most significant benefits of our polyether defoamer is its impact on dewatering. By reducing air entrapment in the white water, it enhances the drainage rate at the wire section by 12-18%. This improved dewatering is critical for increasing machine speed and reducing the energy required for subsequent drying processes. For manufacturers aiming to buy more efficiently, such improvements in process yield can lead to substantial cost savings.
Moreover, our defoamer offers a cost-effective solution. It typically requires a 40-60% lower dosage compared to traditional defoaming agents like fatty alcohols. This reduced consumption translates directly into lower chemical costs per ton of pulp. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is dedicated to providing high-value chemical auxiliaries that not only solve operational problems but also contribute to the economic viability of our clients' businesses. If you are seeking to buy high-quality paper chemicals that deliver tangible results, our polyether defoamers are an excellent choice.
