Wet Strength Efficiency with RF Grade Towels
• Reduced from 6 lpm to 3 lpm on RF Towels (80 kg/MT to 40 kg/MT)
• Solution – Switch from 1000 m³/h long whitewater loop to short white water loop to retain Kymene in short loop with fibre. On normal production, the Silag used all white water of the paper machine (400 m³/h) building and all from RF plant (600 m³/h)
• To shorten loop on RF towels, we used our Krofta for clarification and not the outside Silag flotation. So now white water goes from the PM building direct to the Krofta. Clarified water is recycled to the paper machine.
The old “Single“ Water Loop
RF Plant 600 m³/h from DNT‘s
TM Building 400m³/h from Tray Chest
Silag 1000m³/h
Characteristics:
Spoiler system brings improved mixing
over total volume, especially the upper part.
Target: Intense pulping with Reduced Pulping Time
Results:
Dilution time reduced from 15 min to 10 min.
Dilution time/t and pulper energy consumption/t reduced by about 10 %.
Increased fiber yield
Less reject and disposal costs
Increased pulper system capacity
Results will be quantified over
a longer time period.
