And this is where the wood pulp, produced in the mills digester and fibreline, is being sprayed onto a moving screen…
This wet end section, is where the paper is formed. In the middle of this line, the paper machine press section helps squeeze out the excess water from the pulp at high speed.

Over six hundred and eighty thousand tonnes of paper board liner products are manufactured in this Visy mill each year.
The finished products are finally loaded onto either trucks to be delivered to over fifty countries around the world.
And it all started with a renewable, and sustainably managed pine tree being planted in the forest twelve to fifteen years ago, that is now being replanted….

Welcome to the ForestVR Virtual Tour of Australia’s largest integrated pulp and paper mill, located in Tumut in the foothills of the Snowy Mountains.
Over the next few photos in this virtual tour, you will see how certified, sustainably sourced pine logs, wood chips, and recycled paper, are transformed through the manufacturing process to produce the paper and packaging we see, and use, every day.
The steam rising from the site is evaporation of water, mainly from the wood used in the paper making process.
htmlText_58BD5029_5609_C89C_41CC_BCCAEDBD558D.html =
You’re now inside the log crane, picking up logs from the log yard.
Over 1.3 million tonne of sustainable pine logs, and over half a million tonne of saw mill chips, are delivered to the mill each year – that’s one truck every five minutes being unloaded by this log crane.
The raw materials that feed this mill are pulp logs, sawmill wood chips, and recycled paper pulp collected from paper recycling efforts in schools, homes and businesses throughout Australia.
