Recycled Fibres Pilot

Characteristics

Raw material that can be processed:

The recycled fibres pilot is capable of processing materials delivered in bulk or in the form of bales. Depending on the size of the paper/board to be recycled, a shredding stage can be implemented to ensure compatibility with the pilot facility.

Processes that can be simulated, and main characteristics :

• Recycling lines for the production of packaging
• Deinking lines for the production of deinked pulp for all types of use
• Production at a rate between 20 and 50 kg/h

Main equipment items that can be connected:

• Pulping:
  • Drum pulper with a diameter of 3 m
  • Helico pulper
  • Low consistency pulper
• Coarse screening:
  • Hélipoire or rotary-drum screen with holes of diameter 6 mm
    
  • HD cleaner to eliminate heavy particles such as glass, sand, staples, etc.
• Fine screening in a CH3 pressure screen
  
  • Basket with slots of width 0.10, 0.20 or 0.35 mm
  • Basket with holes of diameter 0.25, 0.50, 0.80 and 1.2 mm
• Centrifugal cleaning
  
  • More than a dozen hydrocyclones to eliminate heavy or light contaminants
• Flotation cells
  
  • 4 Verticells
  • 1 Mak-C cell
  • 1 column flotation cell
  • 1 secondary Verticell
• Washing
  
  • A Classiflux washer
  • 2 Baker inclined screws
• Thickening
  
  • 2 Vernay vacuum filters
  • 2 screw presses
• Dispersing with the possibility to inject steam and chemicals
  
  • High-speed disperser
  • Low-speed kneader
• Others:
  • Connection possible with the cleaning / fractionation pilot
  • Connection possible with the bleaching pilot.

Example of configuration for a deinking line – other configurations are possible thanks to the flexibility of the equipment
