Purpose and Function of
Causticizer
1 Chemical Recovery
The causticizer aids in the recovery of chemicals from the paper pulp,
contributing to sustainable and eco-friendly paper production.

2 Pulping Process
It is responsible for maintaining the alkalinity level required for efficient
pulping of the raw materials.

3 Quality
Enhancement
By ensuring optimal chemical reactions, it helps in improving the quality
and strength of the produced paper.
