Pulpe de bagasse<\/a><\/strong><\/span> sheets come in two published formats from Sheeon: bleached sheets at 700 \u00d7 800 mm, and unbleached bales at 700 \u00d7 800 \u00d7 600 mm weighing roughly 250 kg ADMT. Which format and grade fits depends on the end use \u2014 tableware, molded packaging or paper-mill furnish \u2014 not just on price per ton.<\/p>\n

Sheet and Bale Dimensions: What’s Actually Published<\/h2>\n

Buyers researching “bagasse pulp sheet” often expect a single dimension standard across suppliers. That’s not how the published specs read. Sheeon’s pulpe de bagasse blanchie<\/a><\/strong><\/span> is listed by sheet size only \u2014 700 \u00d7 800 mm \u2014 with no basis weight (grammage) figure disclosed on the reviewed product pages. The unbleached grade, by contrast, publishes a basis weight range of 500\u2013530 g\/m\u00b2 alongside a bale size of 700 \u00d7 800 \u00d7 600 mm and a bale weight of 250 kg ADMT.<\/p>\n

That gap matters for freight and container planning. If your sourcing decision hinges on grammage \u2014 for example, calculating sheets per bale or bales per container \u2014 the unbleached grade gives you the numbers to work with directly. For the bleached grade, request basis weight confirmation from the supplier before finalizing a container-loading plan; don’t assume it matches the unbleached figure.<\/p>\n

The beating degree difference \u2014 22\u00b0SR against 18\u00b0SR \u2014 is the number worth flagging to a mill’s pulping team before order confirmation. It tells you how much refining the bleached grade has already undergone relative to unbleached stock, which changes how each behaves once it hits your own beater or refiner.<\/p>\n

Matching Sheet Format to End Use<\/h2>\n

Tableware and molded fiber production. Brightness above 80% removes the need for a secondary whitening step, and 700 \u00d7 800 mm sheets are a manageable handling size for feeding into pulping tanks ahead of molding. This is the grade most disposable-tableware buyers default to, per Sheeon’s published specs.<\/p>\n

Molded and industrial packaging. Where surface whiteness isn’t a requirement, pulpe de bagasse non blanchie<\/a><\/strong><\/span>‘s 500\u2013530 g\/m\u00b2 basis weight and 250 kg ADMT bale format suit bulk sourcing for cushioning, trays and non-visible packaging layers. The lower beating degree (18\u00b0SR) also means less pre-processing cost if your line does its own refining.<\/p>\n

Paper mill furnish blending. Mills blending bagasse pulp into a broader furnish care less about sheet format and more about tensile index (>55 N\u00b7m\/g bleached), tear index (>5.0 mN\u00b7m\u00b2\/g) and viscosity (>550 cm\u00b3\/g), since these determine how the pulp performs once mixed with other fiber sources. Sheet size becomes a logistics detail rather than a technical one at this stage.<\/p>\n

A Common Misreading: Grammage vs. Finished Sheet Weight<\/h2>\n

One mix-up worth naming directly: pulp sheet basis weight is not the same figure as the grammage of the finished paper or board it produces. A 500\u2013530 g\/m\u00b2 pulpe de bagasse non blanchie<\/a><\/strong><\/span> bale describes the pulp sheet itself as delivered, not the GSM of whatever tableware, packaging board or paper stock a buyer eventually forms from it after repulping, refining and reforming. Treating the two as interchangeable is a frequent error in early-stage sourcing conversations, and it can throw off cost-per-finished-unit calculations if it isn’t caught before ordering.<\/p>\n
