The pulp is washed, refined, cleaned and sometimes bleached, then turned to slush in the beater.  Color dyes, coatings and other additives are mixed in, and the pulp slush is pumped onto a moving wire screen.

Computerized sensors and state-of-the-art control equipment monitor each stage of the process.
