  • Double A Quality Control
  •            Manufacturing of Double A paper is characterized by emphasis on Quality Control throughout the whole process from developing trees with outstanding fiber properties until delivery of the final product with excellent performance to end-user. Continuous training is provided to all employees in the organization in order maintain a high level of quality awareness.

    1. Raw material supply

    With scientific tree breeding technologies, Eucalyptus Paper Tree saplings are produced and supplied to independent farmers.
     
    After 3 - 4 years the farmers sell the trees to the company to be used as raw material for producing paper making pulp.
    This procedure provides full control of the raw material supply and paper making pulp with desirable characteristics can be produced in the two modern fiber lines operated on site.
     
    2. Environmentally friendly pulping process  
    Kraft pulping process with subsequent ECF bleaching is used for manufacturing the main raw material for production of Double A paper.

    The pulping process has been designed for low environmental impact with low water consumption and odour destruction systems.
    The produced pulp has unique features with very thin flexible fibers, which are the key factors for achieving the desired paper characteristics
     
    3. Paper making process  
    Double A paper is produced on two modern paper machines equipped with computerized control system (DCS and QCS) for accurate control of paper quality
    The paper making process is continuously supervised by experienced operators, who with assistance of computer systems take immediate action on production disturbances
    At the end of the paper machine basic paper properties of the running web is continuously monitored by scanners. The information is fed to process computers for adjusting the process conditions.
     
    4. Product Quality Verification  
    Paper samples from the paper machine are collected from every jumbo-reel for laboratory confirmation of product quality
    The Paper Quality Control laboratory is well equipped with modern computerized test equipment for assessment of paper characteristics of importance for product end-use performance.
    In the converting plant the final sheeted product is visually inspected for any defects
    In the Converting Plant Quality Control Laboratory end-used performance of the finished product is verified.
    - Performance in copy-machines (paper-jam, double-feed, curl)
    - Sheet dimensions
    - Cutting quality
    - Paper shade
     
    5. Product quality
    DoubleA paper exhibits a number of features that makes it the best choice for all common office and home applications



    - Trouble free usage in printers and copiers without paper jam or double feeding
    - Low surface roughness in combination with good bulk makes the paper pleasant to handle
    - High whiteness gives a clean appearance and enhances print contrast
    - Good opacity makes it easy to print on both sides of the sheet without disturbing show-through
    - Good aging resistance makes it suitable for archive documents
     
    6. Quality assurance


    - Quality control is an integrated part of the ISO 9001 Quality Management System implemented in the Advance Agro since 2001
    - Procedures and work instructions for all stages in the manufacturing processes are well documented and all staff is properly trained for their tasks
    - Customer feed back is an important input to our efforts to continuously improve product performance and customer satisfaction.
