Abstract
The aim of the research is to make the grinding process more energy-efficient. The basic events of grinding must first be understood and be presented in a mathematical way so that their relevance can be properly tested. Two parallel approaches were adopted in this study: 1. To seek the most fundamental physical correlations between stone grinding surface, on the one hand and wood structure, fatigue, efficiency, production rate and pulp quality on the other. 2. To seek, without going into the details of grinding, the correlations between stone parameters, on the one hand, and pulp quality and production rate on the other. A method involving lasers has been developed for making measurements of the grindstone surface. The surface profiles have been found to have two important properties which cause fatigue in the wood and remove fibres. These properties have been described using two parameters, and it has been shown experimentally that the parameters change in a logical way during the sharpening period, correlate with quality characteristics and can be justified theoretically. The values of the parameters are linked to pulp analyses performed during laboratory grinding and to the energy consumed by the grinder during production-scale grinding. A simple one-dimensional model
