Paper is basically produced by amalgamation of fibres found in wood. There is an extensive process from which paper is manufactured. These fibres are basically vegetable fibres which are composed of cellulose. These fibres are held together by hydrogen bonding. Basically wood or plant cells have fibres bound together. In a process known as plumping these fibres are separated from each other and cellulose or hemicellulose are basically exposed in them. These fibres can be separated chemically or mechanically or with the combination of these two. After fibre processing or plumping comes the stage of chemical plumping. Papers made from chemical wood-based pulps are also known as wood free papers. Once chemical plumping is done then mechanical plumping is done where wood is fed to large steamers and chips are squeezed and fibreized between two steel chips. The logs are fed into grinders where they are pressed by rotating stones and fibreized.
A huge amount is needed to create a chemical plump therefore a chemical plump is way cheaper than a mechanical one. After the plumping process additives are added and then comes the drying process as water needs to be dried completely. Once the drying phase is over then the finishing process is done where the paper goes through the sizing process for its use in various places. In the end the paper is fed to reels if it is to be used for printing presses or cut in different sizes.
