Coated newsprint is an interesting material stream because it sits somewhere between traditional paper recycling and engineered fiber processing. The coatings, ink content, and fiber makeup can all impact how the material behaves during shredding and downstream handling.
For this test lab run, the Vecoplan VAZ 1300 with a film & fiber rotor and 3/4” screen delivered a clean, consistent output while maintaining steady material flow throughout processing.
Rotor and screen configuration play a major role in paper applications like this impacting throughput, particle uniformity, and overall processing efficiency.
