Oji Paper utilizes the latest fiber optics technology
Dec 10, 2020
Oji Paper, part of the Oji Group, is a Japanese printing, writing, and packaging paper producer. They bought a new Valmet FS5 for research laboratory testing in 2019. Oji Group’s Innovation Promotion Division is developing the company’s papermaking technology, studying how to utilize wood resources in new fields, and developing highly functional films.
We use Valmet FS5 to compare raw material characters and to evaluate raw materials from different sources. We observe especially the fiber length to review fiber cutting results. The measurement speed is an important factor for us as we measure a great number of samples every day. Sample treatment of coarseness measurement has also become easier. Overall, our work efficiency and data calculation accuracy have improved.
