LIGNOCELLULOSE-CONTAINING MATERIAL
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The invention relates to a refining surface for a refiner intended for
defibrating lignocellulose-containing material, the refiner comprising at least two
refining surfaces arranged coaxially relative to each other, at least one of which
rotates around a shaft, and between which the material to be defibrated is fed,
and which refining surfaces comprise grooves and between them ridges, at least
part of the refining surface ridges being formed of at least two different ridge
parts connected to each other in such a way that one ridge part is farther ahead
in the rotation direction of the refining surface than the other ridge part.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Disc and cone refiners used for manufacturing mechanical pulp
are formed of two refiner discs opposite to each other which turn relative to each
other and one or both of which is/are rotating. In disc refiners the refiner disc is
disc-like and in cone refiners it is conical. The refining surfaces of refiner discs
are typically formed of grooves and of protrusions between them, i.e. blade
ridges, which will be hereinafer called ridges. The shape of these grooves and
ridges per se may vary in different ways. Thus, for example, in the radial
direction of the refiner disc the refining surface may be divided into two or more
circular parts, each of which may comprise grooves and ridges of different
shapes. In the same way, the number and density of ridges and grooves as well
as their shape and direction in each circle may deviate from each other. Thus,
the ridges may be either continuous over the whole length of the refining surface
radius or there may be a plurality of successive ridges in the radial direction. A
plurality of refiner segments consisting of structures formed of ridges and
grooves between them are arranged upon the discs. One of the refiner discs
comprises an opening through which the material to be refined is fed into the
refiner. The refiner discs are positioned in such a way that the refiner segments
form a refiner gap, through which the fibre material is intended to be discharged
from the inside, where the ridges of the refiner elements carry out the
disintegration. The distance between the refiner discs is longest in the middle of
the discs, being reduced towards the outer periphery in order to refine the
material gradually.
[0003] US publication 6 311 907 discloses a refiner disc on the
refining surface of which some of the ridges in the radial direction of the refiner
disc are formed of ridge parts connected to each other in the radial direction of
the refiner disc in such a way that between the ridge parts of the refiner disc at
their connection point, there is a connecting part that is directed obliquely
relative to the direction of the refiner disc radius, which part connects the ridge
parts forming the ridge to each other in such a way that the ridge travels
windingly from the direction of the inner periphery of the refiner disc to the
direction of its outer periphery. The intention of a winding ridge structure is to
make the refining more efficient by preventing the material to be refined from
moving too rapidly out of the space between the refiner discs towards the outer
periphery of the disc. In one embodiment of the publication, the connecting
part connecting the ridge parts together is designed to form an adjacent ramp
inclined in the direction of the connecting part between the ridge parts, the
purpose of the ramp being to facilitate the movement of the material to be
refined out of the grooves between the ridge parts of the refining surface to the
space between the refiner discs.
[0004] It has also been noted that when fibre material is
disintegrated to achieve a better final product, it is advantageous to position
flow restrictors, i.e. what are called dams, across the grooves of the refiner
segments so as to prevent untreated material from getting through the refiner
gap. The fibre pulp is forced up from the grooves by the dams and is guided to
the treatment between the blade ridges of the refiner segments upon the
opposite refiner discs. The more dams there are in the refiner segment, the
higher the quality of the fibre pulp obtained from the refining. In practice,
however, the number of dams must be kept restricted, because the more dams
there are in the refiner segment, the more difficult it is for the water in the
refiner gap and the vapour generated due to the high power directed at the
disc refiner during the refining to discharge from the refiner gap, and thus the
production capacity of the refiner is reduced. In addition, the vapour pressure
generates great axial forces between the refiner segments, particularly in the
outer part of their periphery, which loads the refiner bearings and thus also
restricts the runnability of the refiner. High vapour pressure also causes
bending of refiner segments so that the segments loose their parallelism.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a refining surface
of a new type for a refiner intended for defibrating lignocellulose-containing
material.
[0006] The refining surface according to the invention is characterised in
that at least in some ridge parts in the rotation direction of the refining surface,
the front wall is over at least part of its length substantially inclined.
[0007] According to an essential idea of the invention, on the refining
surface for such a refiner intended for defibrating lignocellulose-containing
material that has at least two refining surfaces arranged coaxially relative to each
other, at least one of which rotates around a shaft and between which the
material to be defibrated is fed and which refining surfaces have grooves and
between them ridges and at least part of the refining surface ridges are formed
of at least two different ridge parts connected to each other such that one of the
ridge parts is farther ahead in the rotation direction of the refining surface than
the other ridge part, the wall on the side of the rotation direction of the refining
surface is at least in some ridge parts over at least part of its length substantially
inclined.
[0008] Preferred embodiments of the invention are described hereinafter.
[0009] An advantage of the invention is that it causes the material to be
refined to move more efficiently out of the grooves of the refining surface to the
space between opposite refining surfaces, providing thus higher quality for the
refined final product and keeping the production capacity of the refiner high.

[0011] For the sake of clarity, the invention is shown simplified in

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0012] Figure 1 shows schematically a side view and cross-section
of a conventional disc refiner. The disc refiner comprises two disc-like refining
surfaces 1 and 2, which are positioned coaxially relative to each other. In this
embodiment, one refining surface 1 is in a rotating refiner disc 3, which is
rotated by means of a shaft 4. The other refining surface 2 is in this case in a
fixed refiner disc 5, i.e. in a stator. The refining surfaces 1 and 2 in the refiner
discs 3 and 5 may be either formed directly to the discs or formed of separate
refiner segments in a manner known per se. Further, Figure 1 shows a loader
6 connected to affect the refiner disc 3 via the shaft 4 in such a way that it can
be pushed towards the refiner disc 5 to adjust the opening between them. The
refiner disc 3 is rotated via the shaft 4 in a manner known per se by means of a
motor not shown for the sake of clarity.
[0013] The lignocellulose-containing material to be defibrated is fed
through an opening 7 in the middle of the other refining surface 2 to the
opening between the refining surfaces 1 and 2, i.e. the refiner gap, where it is
defibrated and ground at the same time as the water in the material vaporizes.
The lignocellulose-containing material to be defibrated can be fed into the
refiner gap also through openings on the refining surface 2, which are not
shown in the figure for the sake of clarity. The lignocellulose-containing
material that has been defibrated is discharged from the space between the
refiner discs through an opening between the discs, i.e. from the outer edge of
the refiner gap, into the inside of a refiner chamber 8, from where it is further
discharged along a discharge channel 9.
[0014] Figure 2 shows schematically a side view and cross-section
of a conventional cone refiner. The cone refiner comprises two conical refining
surfaces 1 and 2, which are positioned within each other coaxially. In this
embodiment, one refining surface 1 is in a rotating conical refiner disc 3, which
is rotated by means of the shaft 4. The other refining surface 2 is in this case in
a fixed conical refiner disc 5, i.e. in a stator. The refining surfaces 1 and 2 of
the refiner discs 3 and 5 may be either formed directly to the discs or formed of
separate refiner segments in a manner known per se. Further, Figure 2 shows
a loader 6 connected to affect the refiner disc 3 via the shaft 4 in such a way
that it can be pushed towards the refiner disc 5 to adjust the opening between
them. The refiner disc 3 is rotated via the shaft 4 in a manner known per se by
means of a motor not shown for the sake of clarity.
[0015] The lignocellulose-containing material to be defibrated is fed
through an opening 7 in the middle of the refining surface 2 into a conical gap
between the refining surfaces 1 and 2, i.e. conical refiner gap, where it is
defibrated and ground. The lignocellulose-containing material that has been
defibrated is discharged from the space between the refiner discs through an
opening between the discs, i.e. from the outer edge of the refiner gap, into the
inside of the refiner chamber 8, from where it is further discharged along the
discharge channel 9.
[0016] Figure 3 shows schematically a typical refining surface of a
disc refiner, seen from the axial direction. The refining surface comprises in the
peripheral direction of the refiner alternately grooves 10 and ridges 11 at the
same point. The refining surface also comprises flow restrictors, i.e. what are
called dams 18, arranged across the grooves 10, with which untreated material
is prevented from getting out of the refiner gap. The dams 18 force the fibre
pulp out of the grooves 10 but make it more difficult for the water and the
vapour generated due to the high power directed at the refiner during the
refining to discharge from the refiner gap. By way of example, the refining
surface has been here divided in the radial direction into two successive circles
with grooves and ridges of different shapes compared with each other. Hence,
by way of example, the ridges in the outer circle may be curved over at least
part of their length, as shown in Figure 3, relative to the rotation direction
indicated by arrow A, in such a way that the intermediate material on the outer
periphery of the refining surface is "pumped" from the refiner outwards. There
are, in a manner known per se, several different refining surfaces formed either
directly to the refiner disc or of different surface elements.
[0017] Figure 4 shows schematically a part, i.e. segment, of the
refining surface 1 according to one solution, where the refining surface 1 is, by
way of example, divided into two circles 12 and 13 that are successive in the
radial direction. The ridges 11 of the inner circle 12 are shaped in such a way
that they are formed of at least two different ridge parts 11a and 11b. The ridge
parts 11a and 11b are connected to each other in such a way that the ridge
part 11a closer to the central shaft 4, i.e. the rotation shaft of the refining
surface 1, is at the connecting point of the ridge parts 11a and 11b farther
behind relative to the central shaft 4 in the rotation direction indicated by arrow
A than the ridge part 11 b farther off from the central shaft 4. The ridge parts
11a and 11 b may also be connected to each other in such a way that the ridge
part 11a closer to the central shaft is at the connecting point of the ridge parts
11a and 11b farther ahead relative to the central shaft 4 in the rotation
direction than the ridge part 11b farther off from the central shaft 4. The ridge
parts 11a and 11b may also have the direction of the radius of the refining
surface 1, or they may curve forwards relative to the rotation direction of the
refining surface. The outer circle 13 is shaped in such a way that the grooves
10 and ridges 11 in it are radial, or they may be directly or curvingly -45 to +45
degrees in relation to the radius of the refining surface 1. The segments of the
refining surface 1, i.e. the refiner segments, may also be formed of only one
circle similar to the inner circle 12. They may also be formed of several circles
similar to the inner circle 12 and outer circle 13. The flow of vapour generated
due to the high power directed at the refiner during the refining and the flow of
water present in the refiner gap in the grooves 10 need not necessarily be
prevented with dams.
[0018] Figures 5a, 5b and 5c show schematically some potential
embodiments of the ridges 11 on the refining surface according to the solution.
Figure 5a shows ridges 11 seen from the direction perpendicular to the refining
surface 1, Figure 5b shows a cross-section of the ridge part 11a at the section
point D, and Figure 5c shows a cross-section of the ridge part 11a at the
section point E. The lingocellulose-containing material is guided for refining
into the refiner gap with the aid of the centrifugal force caused by the rotation
of the refiner discs and surfaces via the wall 14 of the side profile of the ridge
part 11a farther ahead in the rotation direction of the refining surface 1 and an
oblique bevel 15 between the ridge parts at the connecting point of the ridge
parts 11a and 11b. The vapour generated due to the high power directed at
the refiner during the refining and the water are discharged out of the refiner
along the bottom of a groove 17, because they have a lower density than the
lignocellulose-containing material, and thus the centrifugal force affecting them
is lower than the centrifugal force affecting the lignocellulose-containing
material. Therefore, they are guided in the direction where there is open space
for flows directed away from the central shaft 4, i.e. the rotation shaft of the
refining surface. Designing and dimensioning the shape of the walls 14 and
bevels 15 of the ridges as well as their position in the longitudinal direction of
the ridges 11, i.e. in the radial direction of the refining surface 1, provides a
situation where the lignocellulose-containing material is guided to a refining
zone between the refining surfaces 1 and 2, and the vapour and water are
discharged out of the refiner along the bottom of the groove 17.
[0019] The wall 14 of the ridge parts 11a and 11b is shaped oblique
or inclined backwards relative to the rotation direction A of the refining surface
1 in such a way that angles a1 and a2, shown in Figures 5b and 5c, are
formed between the plane normal of the refining surface 1 and the inclined wall
14. Angle a1 indicates the inclination of the ridge part closer to the rotation
shaft of the refining surface 1, and angle a2 indicates the inclination of the
ridge part farther off from the rotation shaft of the refining surface 1. The
inclination of the wall may remain the same over the whole longitudinal
direction of the ridge part 11a and 11 b, whereby the angles a1 and a2 are
equal over the whole length of the ridge part, but preferably the inclination of
the wall of the ridge part increases when moving forwards along the ridge parts
11a and 11b towards the outer periphery of the refining surface 1; in other
words, a2 is thus greater than a1. The magnitude of angle a2 closer to the
outer periphery of the refining surface 1 may vary between 15 to 60 degrees,
preferably between 30 to 50 degrees, whereas the magnitude of angle a1
closer to the rotation shaft of the refining surface 1 may vary between, for
instance, 0.5 to 5 degrees, but preferably angle a1 is at least 10 degrees
smaller than angle a2. The magnitude of the angle has the effect that the
greater the angle, the more efficiently the material to be refined is guided
between the refining surfaces. Thus, when the wall of the ridge part of the
refining surface having a great angle of inclination encounters the
corresponding wall of the ridge part of the opposite refining surface, the
pressure pulse generated between the walls is low, which facilitates the lifting
of fibres to the refining, making thus the refining more efficient and improving
the pulp quality. Since the inclination of the ridge part wall of the refining
surface increases when moving in the direction of the outer edge of the refining
surface, the refining effect directed at the material to be refined can be made
more efficient when the material to be refined moves between the refining
surfaces from the centre of the refining surface in the direction of the outer
edge before the material to be refined moves out of the space between the
refining surfaces. The farther on in the direction of the outer periphery one
moves, the more the refining area increases, and therefore also, it is
particularly advantageous for the material to be refined to be guided more
efficiently than before out of the grooves to the space between the refining
surfaces when moving in the direction of the outer periphery.
[0020] The figures show that the wall of the ridge part 11a and 11b
in the rotation direction A of the refining surface 1 is oblique or inclined over
the whole length of the ridge part, but it may also be the case that the wall is
oblique or inclined only over part of the ridge part length.
[0021] When the wall 14 of the ridge parts 11a and 11b in the
rotation direction A of the refining surface 1 is made oblique or inclined over at
least part of the length of the ridge part 11a and 11 b, the material to be refined
moves more efficiently out of the grooves 17 between the ridges 11 to the
upper surface of the ridges 11 between opposite refining surfaces. Thus, the
quality of the refined final product can be improved and the production capacity
of the refiner can be kept high. Further, the movement of the material to be
refined to the space between the refining surfaces 1 and 2 may be made more
efficient with an oblique bevel 15 formed at the connecting point of the ridge
parts 11a and 11b, which bevel is designed to rise from the direction of the
ridge part 11 a closer to the rotation shaft of the refining surface 1 towards the
ridge part 11b farther off from the rotation shaft of the refining surface 1, and
which bevel 15 preferably extends as far as to the upper surface of the ridge
part 11b. These oblique bevels 15 can be formed at all connecting points of
the ridge parts 11a and 11b of the refining surface 1, or at only some of them.
[0022] Figure 6 shows schematically an oblique top view of the
ridges 11 on the refining surface 1, seen from the direction opposite to the
rotation direction A of the refining surface 1. Further, Figure 6 indicates with
arrow B the flow of vapour and water in the groove 17 between the ridges 11,
and with arrow C the movement of the lignocellulose-containing material to the
refining zone between the refining surfaces 1 and 2 by means of an oblique
bevel 15 at the connecting point of the ridge parts 11a and 11b. Figure 6, in
the same way as Figure 5, also shows between adjacent ridge parts in the
rotation direction of the refining surface 1 dam-like structures 18 and 19
connecting the ridge parts together, which structures guarantee that the
lignocellulose-containing material rises from the groove 17 into the refiner gap
between the refining surfaces to be treated. The structures 18 and 19 may
extend to the upper edge of the ridge part or to only part of its height.
[0023] Figure 5a shows that the front wall of the ridge 11 in the
rotation direction A of the refining surface 1 in the plane of the groove 17 of the
refining surface 1 is continuous, in other words the wall of the ridge part 11b
continues uninterruptedly with the wall of the ridge part 11a without staggering
in the plane of the refining surface 1 when one moves in the radial direction of
the refining surface 1 from the direction of the inner periphery of the refining
surface 1 towards the outer periphery of the refining surface 1. Figure 7 further
shows an embodiment of the ridge 11 where said wall of the ridge 11 on the
right-hand side of the figure is not continuous in the plane of the groove 17 of
the refining surface 1, but there is in the rotation direction of the refining
surface 1, 2 between the front edges of the walls of the ridge parts 11a and
11b small staggering or a small step 20 in the plane of the groove 17 at the
connecting point of the ridge parts 11a and 11b. The step may even be so big
that it begins at the section of the side of the outlet edge of the ridge part
located farther on and the bottom plane of the ridge part, in which case the
step forms at the same time a dam. Depending on the angle of the step point,
however, the dam does not necessarily prevent the flow in the groove
essentially, but it guides material to be refined effectively to the space between
the refining surfaces. Figures 8, 9 and 10 further show schematically and by
way of example some feasible shapes of the ridges 11 of the refining surface 1
according to the solution. The ridges 11 of Figures 8, 9 and 10 are
characterized in that the lower or front edge of the ridge parts follows a
continuous line, in other words the ridge parts of the ridge 11 extending from
the bottom of the refining surface follow a continuous line, which may turn in
several different ways. If there is a step at the connecting point of the different
ridge parts of the ridge 11, there must also be at the point of the step a greater
angle between the normal of the refining surface and the inclined wall of the
ridge part than at the start of the next ridge part.
[0024] The drawings and the related description are only intended
to illustrate the idea of the invention. The details of the invention may vary
within the scope of the claims. Thus, the structural solutions of the segments of
the refining discs may vary per se, whereby either one or both of the refining
surfaces may be surfaces according to the invention. The refining surfaces are
typically vertical and rotate around a central shaft, but it is also feasible to
apply the invention to solutions where the refining surfaces are horizontal. The
refining surfaces may also be cylindrical or conical. Further, the invention may
be applied to low-consistency refining and refining of fibreboard fibres. The
refining surface according to the solution may naturally be used also in such
refiners where between two refiner discs arranged fixedly, i.e. two stators,
there is one rotating refiner disc, on both sides of which there is a refining
surface, or in refiners where both refining discs are rotating. In the examples of
the figures, the rotation direction A of the refining surface is indicated to be
from left to right, but it may naturally be from right to left as well, in which case
the shape of the ridges 1 naturally changes in such a way that the inclined wall
14 of the ridges 11 is towards the rotation direction, i.e. at the left edge of the
ridges 11 as compared with the figures.
