Growing interest in fluff pulp is driven by the global shift toward more sustainable absorbent materials across packaging, hygiene, and specialty applications. As industries look for ways to reduce or replace traditional absorbents that rely on superabsorbent polymers (SAPs), fluff pulp offers a renewable, biodegradable alternative with strong liquid‑handling performance. It can fully or partially substitute SAPs in moisture‑management solutions such as food pads, packaging liners, and other absorbent structures.
We provide pulp fluffing services along with comprehensive testing and analysis of fluff properties, ensuring optimized absorption performance and consistent quality tailored to your application needs.
Pulp fluffing
Our Buffalo W‑6‑H hammer mill enables efficient defibration of pulp sheets into clean, uniform fluff with excellent fiber opening. Through controlled hammer‑milling, the unit separates fibers consistently, minimizing shives and delivering stable specific volume and absorption properties. This process ensures reliable fluff quality suited for absorbent packaging, hygiene products, and specialty applications. We offer hammer‑mill fluffing using the Buffalo W‑6‑H, either as a stand‑alone service or combined with our full range of fluff pulp analyses to optimize performance and material consistency
Buffalo W‑6‑H hammer mill
Different screen opening sizes in the hammer mill result in varying energy consumption, and consequently different knot content. Example:
Screen opening size (mm) | Energy consumption (kWh/t | Knot content (%) |
5 | 323 | 6,5 |
10 | 45 | 53 |
Fluff Pulp Testing
Fluff pulp testing ensures that cellulose materials used in absorbent products meet the highest standards for performance and consistency.
Our laboratory performs the following key analyses:
Air‑laid fluff pad forming
The air‑laid fluff pad former produces uniform fluff pads for subsequent testing of absorption properties and specific volume.
Knot Content
Our MTS Nit Counter measures the level of fiber bundles in fluff pulp. High-quality fluff pulp should contain minimal fiber bundles to ensure smooth processing and reliable absorbency characteristics.
Absorption Time
This test shows how quickly the fluff pulp can take up liquid. A short absorption time ensures effective moisture control and reduced risk of leakage. This test reflects the material’s responsiveness under real-use conditions.
Absorption Capacity
Absorption capacity evaluates how much liquid the fluff pulp can retain relative to its weight. This parameter is essential for products that require reliable performance over extended periods. High absorption capacity ensures better fluid management, dryness, and increased product efficiency even under heavy usage.
Specific Volume
Specific volume describes the bulk and openness of the fibers after defibration, which influences softness, fluid distribution, and overall product performance.
