Making Paper from Woodchips

 

General statement

Woodchipping is a process used to obtain pulp and paper products from forest trees. The woodchipping process begins when the trees are cut down in a selected area of the forest called a coupe.

 

(Woodchipping adalah proses yang digunakan untuk memperoleh produk bubur kertas dan kertas dari pohon-pohon hutan. Proses woodchipping dimulai ketika pohon ditebang di area yang dipilih dari hutan yang disebut coupe.)

Squence of explanation

Next the tops and branches of the trees are cut out and then the logs are taken to the mill. At the mill the bark of the logs is removed and the logs are taken to a chipper which cuts them into small pieces called woodchips. The woodchips are then screened to remove dirt and other impurities. At this stage they are either exported in this form or changed into pulp by chemicals and heat. The pulp is then bleached and the water content is removed.

 

(Selanjutnya bagian atas dan cabang-cabang dari pohon tersebut dipotong dan kemudian batang-batang kayunya dibawa ke pabrik pengilingan. Di pabrik pengilingan kulit kayu akan dihilangkan dan batang-batang kayu tersebut dibawa ke mesin pemotong kayu (chipper) yang memotong batang-batang kayu tersebut menjadi potongan-potongan kecil yang disebut serpihan kayu (woodchips). Serpihan kayu tersebut kemudian disaring untuk menghilangkan kotoran dan benda-benda lainnya. Pada tahap ini mereka bisa diekspor dalam bentuk tersebut atau dirubah menjadi bubur kertas dengan bahan kimia dan panas. Bubur tersebut kemudian diputihkan dan kadar airnya akan dihilangkan.)

 

Closing

Finally the pulp is rolled out to make paper.

(Akhirnya bubur kertas tersebut digulung untuk dibuat kertas kertas.)

Bagaimana  makanan dicerna?
Makanan yang kita makan dipecah dan digunakan oleh tubuh kita. penghancuran  makanan ini disebut pencernaan.
