Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of papermaking, and in particular to high-strength corrugated paper without fluting and a production method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Corrugated paper, also known as corrugated core paper, is the key material for the core layer of packaging carton paperboard. It is mainly used to support the structure of the carton and bear the main load-bearing function. In the production process of packaging cartons, the first thing to do is to make cardboard. This process usually includes the middle layer of corrugated paper passing through the corrugated roller for fluting, and then bonding it with the upper and lower layers of boxboard paper by glue, and then drying to form cardboard. The cardboard is then cut into specified sizes for making cartons.

[0003] However, in winter, due to the dry climate and low air humidity, the corrugated base paper is prone to "broken flutes" during the cardboard manufacturing process. Specifically, during the corrugation process, the top of the flutes of the corrugated base paper cracks. This cracking not only affects the appearance quality of the cardboard, but more importantly, it causes a significant decrease in the compressive strength of the manufactured carton. When the packaged goods are stacked, the insufficient compressive strength of the carton will lead to a box collapse accident, causing serious economic losses.

[0004] In the prior art, the production process and material ratio of corrugated paper usually fail to fully consider the performance requirements under extreme climatic conditions. Especially in low humidity environments, the folding resistance and cracking resistance of corrugated paper are insufficient, resulting in frequent broken flutes. This not only affects the overall quality of the carton, but also increases production costs and scrap rates. Therefore, developing a high-strength corrugated paper to improve its folding resistance and cracking resistance has become the key to solving the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a high-strength corrugated paper without broken flutes, which can still maintain good folding resistance and crack resistance in a low humidity environment, effectively solve the problem of broken flutes in the cardboard manufacturing process, thereby improving the compressive strength of the carton and meeting customers' demand for high-quality packaging cartons.

[0006] The present invention also provides a preparation method thereof. Through the implementation of the present invention, box collapse accidents caused by broken edges can be significantly reduced, economic losses can be reduced, and the market competitiveness of packaging cartons can be improved.

[0007] The method for producing high-strength corrugated paper without broken flutes of the present invention comprises the following process flow:

[0009] The paper machine used is a fourdrinier multi-cylinder corrugated paper machine;

[0010] Adding nanocellulose into a pulping tank;

[0011] The waste paper box is a LOCC waste paper box, and the mass ratio of the LOCC waste paper box to the nanocellulose is (90-95%):(10-5%);

[0012] The surface glue is added into the sizing machine: edible corn starch 20-25kg / ton of paper, CMC: 2-4kg / ton of paper, and sizing enhancer: 1-3kg / ton of paper.

[0013] The preparation process of the surface adhesive is as follows:

[0015] The sizing process of the sizing machine is as follows: the surface glue solution is lifted from the surface glue storage tank to the feeding tank, and the feeding tank is lifted to the surface sizing machine to apply surface glue to the corrugated base paper. Figure 1 shown.

[0016] In the double-disc refiner process, two DD1200mm double-disc refiners are used in series for refining, with debonding type refiners, and the power of the two double-disc refiners is (450-500) kW and (450-500) kW respectively.

[0017] In the double-disc refiner process, the valve opening is 70-75%, the pulping concentration is 4.5-5.0%, the pulping degree is 33-36°SR, and the wet weight is 3-4g.

[0018] Dry strength agents are added into the pulping tank: 10-15 kg / ton of paper of amphoteric polyacrylamide and 100-200 g / ton of paper of organic bromine fungicide.

[0019] 200-300g / ton of paper of defoaming agent is added into the white water tank outside the machine.

[0020] The operating parameters of the paper machine are: headbox lip opening 12-14 mm, web concentration 1.0-1.2%, web speed ratio 0.94-0.96, machine speed 580-600 m / min, drying cylinder steam pressure 530-550 kPa for front drying and 480-500 kPa for rear drying.

[0021] The finished paper weight is 126-134g, and the finished paper moisture content is 8-10%.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] (2) The present invention can improve the folding resistance of corrugated paper by adding CMC to the surface sizing.

[0025] (3) The present invention reduces the amount of edible corn starch used in surface sizing. In the normal process, the amount of edible corn starch used is 30-40 kg / ton of paper. The present invention reduces the amount of edible corn starch used to 20-25 kg / ton of paper to reduce the brittleness of corrugated paper.

[0026] (4) The present invention reduces the amount of sizing enhancer in the surface sizing formula. The normal process uses 4-6 kg / ton of paper. The present invention reduces the amount of sizing enhancer to 1-3 kg / ton of paper to reduce the brittleness of corrugated paper; at the same time, the water absorption is reduced from 20-30 g / m 2 Increase to 40-60g / m 2 , moderately increase the moisture absorption performance of corrugated paper and improve the flexibility of corrugated paper.
