The process of transforming old pieces of cardboard into boxes or containers there are several steps to follow.

There are numerous ways to reuse corrugated cardboard but they all start by collecting recycled objects. These include glass and plastics that are separated. These are added to water in order to create the paste.

The paste needs to be made more tan by a variety of processes in order to lessen moisture levels and provide the right texture required to hold goods eventually.

The “noodle” the special purpose machine that breaks down paste and makes it more fine, is a great example of apparatus. Chemicals are also added for improved fire or water resistance.

Lastly, the composition gets circulated and spread out by the barrel’s rotating. The mixture forms into the form of a solid. A vacuum drum gets rolled over the mixture, steam is blown onto it, and then it forms sheets.

The sheets may then be put together to create corrugated card or sandwiched between two layers of gypsum, to form ceiling tiles.
