The usual raw materials in
pulp moulding systems are waste paper and cardboard and water.
The paper is re-pulped within the MoldMaster stainless steel pulper and
moulded into various items such as egg trays, egg cartons, fruit trays and
various types of industrial packaging.
The people at MoldMaster
are keen to work with customers who wish to use different raw materials to waste
paper and cardboard. We work with
our customers and their different raw materials to produce MoldMaster moulding
machines which will utilise their required materials. MoldMaster also work closely with their customers to produce
the necessary moulds (dies) to form the raw materials into the products that are
required.
Examples of the materials
that have been successfully used in the Moldmaster moulding machines are such
things as a mix of fibreglass and graphite to produce 25 mm thick fireproof door
panels.
MoldMaster also
collaborated with Europe’s biggest producer of biodegradable seed and plant
pots to produce a new generation of moulding machines using a mix also of wood
fibre and light peat. The pots are
used for horticulture and have an exceptionally high permeability to water, air
and roots. This property, combined
with its high mechanical strength has established the success of the of the
biodegradable pots made of plant fibres
Moldmaster machines can
also use waste fibre effluent from paper mills as a proportion of the raw
material – usually mixed with approximately 50% waste paper to produce good
quality pulp moulded packaging.
In addition to waster paper
and cardboard, other papers can be used such as Kraft paper, fax paper, general
office paper waste, telephone directories and for very good quality white
products envelope off cuts are ideal.
