FillerTEKFillerTEK™ Technology
Addressing the concerns of today’s paper producer, FillerTEK technology delivers an increase in filler content of up to five units, while preserving the critical strength and optical attributes of the final sheet. This new technology effectively delivers cost-efficiency to paper producers by allowing them to utilize less expensive raw materials.FillerTEK technology is based on increasing the particle size of the filler through a unique method of pre-flocculation, with the net outcome being reduced interference of the filler with fiber-fiber bonding. Through utilizing the technology, paper producers can expect to achieve a high Return on Investment (ROI).
The technology has been demonstrated with a variety of furnish types, and the program is best suited for the uncoated or coated free sheet market. The chemical treatment is carried out on-site with a mill’s existing filler slurry, and this can be accomplished in-line or the treated filler slurry can be stored in a run tank; no residence or aging time is required before use. FillerTEK technology is also an ideal fit for paper producers utilizing precipitated or ground calcium carbonate (PCC or GCC), or a blend of the two carbonates as their filler source.
