Pulp Beating For Handmade Sheets With A Hollander Beater

Wondering how handmade sheets we love are made? It starts with this rudimentary stage of pulp making with a Paper Hollander beater. UEC - a renowned Paper Hollander beater manufacturer, tells us a lot about making quality handmade sheets by treating cooked/uncooked raw materials under pre-determined conditions to make pulp. 

Handmade sheets are simply fascinating. With different colors, thicknesses and textures - one can quickly start a collection of handmade sheets. However, handmade paper sheets have a huge demand in the craft segment, making it even more critical for manufacturers to produce a quality product. I am mesmerized by the imperfection that a handmade sheet has, which makes it beautiful with an array of applications in DIY projects. 

What Are Paper Hollander Beaters?

Paper Hollander beaters are instruments used to turn fresh or recycled fibres into pulp. The pulp then goes into making beautiful handmade sheets. Dutch developed the first prototype in 1680 to make paper from the plant fibres. The machine eventually replaced the tedious stamp paper mills that took 8 days to produce the pulp, which Hollander could produce in a single day. To date, the tool has great significance in the industry.      

What Makes A Hollander Beater? 

• Tub - A necessary container to hold the water in which the fibres are treated to make pulp. 

• Bed Plate -  A set of blades or bars placed at an angle to process the pulp. 

• Rotor & Cover - Rotor to keep the mixture moving and cover to keep the water and pulp inside the trough.   

• Drain Valve - To drain the excess water out of the mixture.  

Every pulp beating instrument (Hollander or valley beater) has the aforementioned essentials. It is the size and variation that matters. UEC is also a renowned Lab valley beater manufacturer, facilitating the premium range to its valuable customers (national and overseas). 

Working Of Hollander Beater

Hollander beater is not limited to cutting the fibres but to macerating and refining the fibres rendering more surface area for fibres to bond together, which is good for paper making. With the help of this motorized tool, the fibre is beaten to make a usable pulp slurry. The mixture is teated away from the beater wheel and plate, which otherwise would result in cutting.
