Abstract
Pulp mold is one of the famous environmental friendly materials, which made from re cycled materials such as old newsprints through the environmental friendly processes. Furthermore, the used pulp mold can be easily recycled and the pulp mold itself is biodegradable. However, the higher cost and some deficiency in physical properties of pulp mold have been considered as issues to be overcome for a substitute for polymeric packaging materials such as EPS (Expandable Polystyrene). The way for the optimization of a pulp mold mill was proposed in this report. The possible reduction of drying energy was calculated by using a computer simulation method, which could Provide the detailed information about mass balance of overall process. The simulated results showed a great possible curtailment of production cost by improving the forming systems, for example, increasing the temperature and the dryness of a wet pulp mold.
