POM® patented wet-end technology replaces conventional chests and silos for a smaller footprint providing chemical savings, improved Headbox drainage and capacity and fast grade changes.
Finebar® patented refining technologies are used to produce ultra-low intensity refiner plate patterns which enhance pulp strength, save energy and extend plate life.
"About the Future" describes benefits of refining Eucalyptus pulp with Finebar® ultra low intensity plates for Navigator office paper at the Portucel mill in Setubal, Portugal.
Pilot and mill trials using Finebar plates on Eucalyptus fibers resulted in improved quality, reduced energy input and better paper machine runnability.
