The Float Purger provides coarse stock cleaning of low-density debris with fiber free rejects! The Float Purger system treats coarse rejects in a continuous pulping system by using three main functions: First, the bottom rotor creates a strong vortex forcing light contaminants to the center of the air core while the reverse dish at the top ensures contaminants are removed at the lowest pressure point. Second, a defibering action occurs between the bottom rotor and the extraction plate. The accepted pulp usually is returned to the pulper. Lastly, centrifugal force pushes heavy contaminants into a tapered reject channel around the periphery of the extraction plate. The system offers reliable operation with excellent rejects removal, creating high quality accepts as a result. https://lnkd.in/gR3_cehb #Kadant #FiberProcessing #RejectHandling #FloatPurger

The Hydraflow Continuous Lights Detrasher is a durable system that produces a constant output of low-density, light-weight rejects. Provides ample circulation to defiber entrained paper flakes, the Hydraflow and Maximizer bedplate work together to control accept quality. Accepted pulp passes through the bedplate and moves forward in the system while the Hydraflow removes debris from the pulp, increasing production output and pulp residence time. The Hydraflow Continuous Lights Detrasher is your number one solution for detrashing the trash, while the additionally included Hydraflow Trash Pump feeds the detrasher and compliments your fiber processing system. https://lnkd.in/gkQBd-xF #Kadant #FiberProcessing #RejectHandling #Hydraflow

We are excited to announce our latest solution for reject handling in the fiber processing industry. Introducing: Upcycling! Upcycling is our latest waste management solution, changing your trash from waste to worth. Our mission with Upcycling is to lead the way in fiber processing waste management and save valuable resources from ending up in landfills. Pulp and paper mills face a considerable challenge when it comes to managing rejected material, as a substantial portion of the raw material input is rejected. Additionally, traditional methods employed by these mills can negatively affect profitability, since waste disposal practices lack environmental consideration and lead to incurring high associated costs for disposal. Revolutionizing waste management in the pulp and paper industry, Kadant’s upcycling solution offers a sustainable and cost-effective solution to the reject management challenges of the pulp and paper industry. The division transforms various streams of stock-reject into valuable products like metals, wires, and plastic pellets while clarifying the waste water streams to be reused in the production process. https://lnkd.in/gay96aTz #Kadant #FiberProcessing #Upcycling #RejectHandling #WasteManagement

The addition of Frontway to the Kadant offering is a great step forward.
