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.
"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.
Pilot and laboratory facilities boast comprehensive analysis for the development of new products, testing process or fiber changes for fiber processing operations.
