Abstract
Reducing energy consumption in softwood chip refining, without adverse effects on pulp quality, has been studied on the Finnish Pulp and Paper Research Institute`s new chip refiner by subjecting the chips to a suitable combination of shear and compressive forces. Defibration has been studied with different refiner plate geometries to enable maximum refiner speed to be used with low energy consumption without reducing the size of the long-fibre fraction. The variables used were the peripheral speed of the refiner and plate pattern in the crushing section. Runs carried out with different plate patterns and refiner speeds showed that the energy needed for defibration varies greatly. With defibration at high speed and 25% below normal energy consumption, the problem was a loss of about 10% in average fibre length. The aim in future investigations will be to develop the plate pattern in the crushing section to find the best compromise between low defibration energy and acceptable fibre length. (orig.)
