Rag Chopping

The sorted cotton rags are put through a mechanized rag chopper that cuts the rags in to small uniform sized pieces. In the past this process was done manually.

Beating

The chopped rags are converted into a fine pulp in a ‘Hollander Beater'. Inert chemicals, like rosin soap and alum are added to give the paper the desired physical properties and the consistency required. When making colored and or textured papers, the color dyes and or textured materials like straw,grass, silk or jute fibres etc., are added during this process. The resulting pulp is now ready for sheet formation.

Couching

The wet paper sheet is then transferred on to a cloth, felt piece of fabric, a couch which acts as an interleaf separating the wet sheets.

Drying

Sheets are dried in the open air. For colored papers drying in the shade, though slower, is preferred in order to obtain uniform color on both sides of the sheet.

Cleaning & Sizing

The sheets are then inspected for unwanted foreign matter. Small particles and dirt are removed manually with a sharp instrument. The cleaned sheets may then be coated with starch in order to make them blot-free.

Claendering

Each sheet is placed between metallic plates and passed through spring loaded rollers in a calendering machine. This smoothens the paper and also enhances the gloss.

Cutting

At this point the calendered sheet still has a deckle edge. The sheet may remain uncut if required by the customer. However, typically, the sheets are machine cut to a standard 22"x30" or 56"x76"cm size.
