Abstract

In a large-scale pulp and paper industry, good quality chips play a critical role in determining the pulp making process. Several factors affect the resulting quality of chips in the wood chipping process; among of them are the chipper knife sharpness and wear. This research examines the difference between sharp knife and worn-out knife based on the image analysis and chip quality eva uation once used for chipping Eucalyptus wood. Through the image analysis with electron microscopy, it is noted distinct differences between sharp and worn-out knives. The progression of wear, primarily caused by abrasion, friction, and heat during the chipping process, is clearly represented. With Scandinavian standard screening method, it is shown acceptance rate of the chips over time; in which such the chip acceptance rate decreases by 2.26% as the knives wear down.
