The given diagram depicts the process of manufacturing recycled paper.
Overall, the linear process consists of four main stages: making pulp, filtering, cleaning, and making paper. Starting from collecting the recycled paper, processing them through stages, ending with the fresh rolls of paper.
To begin with, recycled paper are delivered on a conveyor belt. The paper is then soaked into the mingle of water and chemicals of a pulping machine, which break it down into pulverized paper. During the second stage, the pulp are retrieved in a basket before being pushed through a filter.
In the next stage, the filtered pulp continues to be soaked in the mixture of water and soap while an air pump is utilised to seperate ink from the pulp. This seperated pulp is again soaked in the mingle of water and chemicals prior to being delivered by a conveyor belt, which uses heated rollers to expel any excess water. The outcome of the final stage is fresh rolls of recycled water.
