Pilot and mill trials using Finebar plates on Eucalyptus fibers resulted in improved quality, reduced energy input and better paper machine runnability.
"Modern Karton - Rise to the Top" discusses stock preparation upgrades that increased capacity while saving energy, including fractionation and low-intensity refining to preserve strength for 100% recycled fiber.
This paper discusses screening upgrades to increase capacity by combining old with new equipment while recovering more fiber, reducing energy use and using fractionation to preserve strength.
"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.
