Epson: Office Paper Machine PaperLab A-8000-Reclaimed paper to new

(May 23, 2019)

“Dry office paper machine”: (Patent No. 6127882)

Fresh paper is regenerated on the spot using used copy paper as a raw material.

It is the core technology of dry fiber technology installed in the world’s first * 1 dry office paper machine (PaperLab A-8000).

Core Technology: Dry Fiber Technology

Seiko Epson develops independently.

It is a revolutionary paper recycling technology that does not use water in the papermaking process.

We will contribute to the SDGs (sustainable development goals) advocated by the United Nations through the efficient use of water.

Two-stage sieve:

First of all, the fibers are broken up with a fine-grained “first sieve” using a fiberizer.

Next, the fibers are further divided into “second sieves”.

In the “second sieve”,

By loosening this and “stacking in a uniform sheet”, it is recycled into paper excellent in paper strength and texture.
