FAQ
Q1: What is a good molded pulp yield?
A: A good yield rate is high and improving — typically well above 90% for stable lines, with the rest driven by process drift and mold condition.
Q2: What drives yield down?
A: Slurry consistency drift, mold screen wear, moisture errors, and forming defects create rejects.
Q3: How is yield improved?
A: Stabilize slurry and consistency, maintain screens, and catch defects at the press through inline QC.
