CARDBOARD

Bruunshåb Gl. Papfabrik is a working factory mu­seum. The listed factory buildings are situated next to a mill pond surrounded by a bog. Behind them, to the north, is a steep, forested slope. The wood is known as Cardboard Wood, because part of it was planted during the previous century by the owner of the cardboard factory.

The site has been home to a cardboard factory since 1919. Before then, the buildings served as a cloth mill. Until 1986, Bruunshåb was run on commer­cial terms, during its final years under three different owners, the last of whom had to declare bankruptcy for the factory in 1986.

Some of the buildings were sold off, and in January 1987, the mill reopened as a factory museum.

Bruunshåb Gl. Papfabrik is the last factory in Den­mark to produce fibreboard. Fibreboard is made of 100% recycled paper, including newsprint, print publications and the rolls from toilet paper and pa­per towels.

 

Fibreboard is both stable and flexible. It is pH-neu­tral and comes in both undyed grey and bespoke colours, the latter for a minimum order of 400 kg of pulp. Optional finishes include lacquer or a textured imprint, the latter is known as leatherboard.

The factory supplies a number of companies in Den­mark and abroad, including shoe factories, book­binders, brush makers and the box factories Elvo Copenhagen and Vestergaard in Aarhus.

The factory also has a department that produces fibreboard boxes, luggage for children, waste bins and urns.

No order is too small.

During the summer, visitors to the factory museum can observe the production, which involves an in­tricate transmission system with axles, wheels and drive belts powering the old machines that turn wastepaper into cardboard. During the winter, it is too cold to invite people in, but in fact, the produc­tion is active all year round.

Bruunshåb Gl. Papfabrik er et arbejdende fabriks­museum. De fredede fabriksbygninger ligger ved en mølledam omgivet af mose og med ryggen mod en stejl, skovbevokset skrænt mod nord. En del af skoven er i forrige århundrede plantet af ejeren af Papfabrikken og kaldes derfor Papskoven.

Der har været papfabrik på stedet siden 1919, og før den tid blev bygningerne anvendt som klædefabrik. Frem til 1986 blev Bruunshåb drevet som en kom­merciel virksomhed, de sidste år af tre forskellige ejere, hvoraf den sidste endte med at sende virksom­heden i konkurs i 1986.

En del af bygningerne blev solgt fra, og produkti­onsanlægget blev i januar 1987 indviet som fabriks­museum.

Bruunshåb Gl. Papfabrik producerer som den sidste fabrik i Danmark fiberpap. Fiberpap fremstilles af 100% genbrugspapir; avispapir, tryksager og toilet-og køkkenruller, blandt andet.

Pappet er både stabilt og fleksibelt. Det er pH-neu­tralt og fremstilles både i u-indfarvet grå og indfar­vet efter eget valg, blot er minimum 400 kg pulp. Man kan få pappet med eller uden lakeret overflade, og man kan tilvælge en præget overflade, så bliver det til såkaldt læderpap.

Fabrikken er underleverandør til en lang række virksomheder i ind- og udland, skofabrikker, bog­binderier og børstefabrikker samt æskefabrikkerne Elvo København og Vestergaard i Aarhus, for ek­sempel.

Fabrikken har også en afdeling, som selv producerer æsker, børnekufferter, skraldespande og urner af fiberpap. Ingen ordre er for lille.

På fabriksmuseet kan man i sommerhalvåret følge produktionen, som foregår på et sindrigt transmissionssystem med aksler, hjul og drivremme, som trækker de gamle maskiner, der omdanner affaldspapir til pap. Om vinteren er der for koldt til, at det giver mening at have publikum, derimod kører produktionen året rundt.
