The bamboo pulp is one kind of paper pulp like wood pulp, straw pulp or reed pulp. The bamboo pulp is usually made from moso bamboo, phyllostachys pubescens and sinocalamus affinis by sulfate digestion process, soda process or other technologies. The bamboo fiber morphology and length is intermediate between wood fiber and straw fiber. Bamboo pulp paper is becoming more and more popular in China and Europe at present. The key reason is that bamboo pulp papers are more eco-friendly, sustainable and healthier than that of wood papers.

    Bamboo pulp can be made into bamboo paper. Bamboo paper is strong and it has wide applications. The bleached bamboo paper is used to manufacture offset paper, typing paper, household tissues, cup-stocks, food package paper and high-grade culture paper etc. The unbleached bamboo paper is generally applied to package paper-making, kraft paper and paper boxes etc. Besides, bamboo pulp and wood pulp can be mixed and used to make cable paper, insulation paper, and cement bag paper etc. Bamboo fiber is the best fiber materials for paper-making after the softwood fiber because some kinds of bamboo have long fiber and the same features as softwood. Bleached bamboo pulp has better tearing strength and evenness compared to the hardwood pulp.  

    From bamboo to bamboo pulp paper series, you need at least three production lines:

1.Raw Materials (Bamboo Chip Production Line)

You have to cut the bamboo with workers, then use Bamboo Chipper to cut it into chips, please check the production lines online:

Due to the seasonality of bamboo cutting, for ensuring the continuous production, the pulp mill must stock a certain amount of bamboo. Generally, the bamboo storage capacity should be used for 3-6 months. New bamboo should be dried by the air and de-greening. As for the stacking and unstacking of the bamboo bundle, a portable belt conveyor and loader will be the best helper.

After the bamboo bundle enters the pulp mill, it is cut into bamboo chips by the bamboo cutter and is stored with other chips. The size of bamboo chips is 10-25mm.

Different technology requires different pulping equipment and machinery, most of the pulp mills use Chemical Way, Semi-Chemical & Mechanical Way and Biochemical Way etc. There are several different production lines for making bamboo pulp in China, please check:

Wide raw material sources.
Simple pulp processing required.
Low cost required.
High market potential.

3. From bamboo pulp to bamboo paper ( Paper-Making Production Line )
There are many different paper-making machinery here in China, so the first step is that you have to confirm what type of paper you are going to make and tell us their specifications and capacity requirements first before we quote.
