Global consumption of tissue paper products is expected to grow at roughly 6.5 percent each year in the next five years to reach 52 million tons, according to market research provider RISI. Global production should reach levels of 44 million tons in this year alone — an increase of ten million tons compared to ten years ago.
To keep up with increasing demand, manufacturers are striving to leverage new manufacturing technology to improve the design and quality of tissue products, which will allow them to cut costs, save resources, and stay competitive. The international trade convention for the pulp and paper industries, TAPPICon 2021, brings together industry experts, researchers, and company representatives to explore this topic and present new technologies and methods from October 3-6th in Atlanta, Georgia.
One of the companies presenting at the event this year will be emtec Electronic, a developer and manufacturer of specialized testing and measuring devices for paper, tissue, and board, as well as textiles and nonwovens. The German company focuses on developing technical solutions to common problems in paper manufacturing, such as measuring penetration dynamics, predicting gluability and printability, analyzing the zeta potential and charge demand, and determining mineral and pigment content, and objectively measuring the haptics of tissue paper products.
