Pulping

Pulping Systems

The first operation to be carried out is that of pulping the fibrous material coming from virgin fibres, waste paper, or non-wood fibres in a tank that contains water, in order to separate the fibrous material into fibres at their elementary state. An impeller of various types and shapes, equipped with blades and placed on the bottom of the tank, creates a whirling motion that causes the used raw materials to flake off. The final product of this process are fibres in water suspension at about 5% consistency.

Toscotec Pulping Systems offer the possibility of selecting an optimal pulping technology according to the type of fiber used, the production, and the contaminant present in the fiber.

Medium Density Pulping includes the VP medium consistency pulper, which works discontinuously (aka “batch mode”) between 7% and 9% of cellulose, waste paper and non-wood fibres.

    Low Density Pulping includes the low consistency TM pulper, which works continuously between 5% and 6% of waste paper with a high level of contaminants or rewinder trims.

    Benefits:

    • Having at its disposal both batch and continuous pulpers, Toscotec can select the best technical solution to optimize the quality of the pulped fiber and reduce energy consumption to a minimum.
    • Toscotec pulper rotors are designed to optimize the pulping process, maximizing the pumping effect in the discontinuous medium density pulpers, or maintaining the right vorticity to optimize the cleaning process in continuous pulp.

    Pulping System

    Medium Density Pulper

    TT VP. Suitable to work both with virgin pulp, broke, recycled paper and non-wood fibers, the Toscotec Medium Density pulper TT VP is designed to perform an extremely efficient and low energy slushing in discontinuous mode.

    Low Density Pulper

    TT TM. Optimized to work with heavily contaminated recycled paper or with rewinder trims, the Toscotec Low Density Pulper TT TM is designed to perform an extremely efficient and low energy slushing in continuous mode and to remove rejects without breaking them.

    Ragger

    TT RG. For the proper performance of a continuous pulper working with recycled paper (Toscotec Low Density Pulper), a cleaning unit such as the ragger TT RG is required to be installed.

    Rotating Screen

    TT RS. The Toscotec Rotating Screen TT RS is used in recycled paper stock preparation plants to de-water the coarse rejects coming from upstream cleaning equipment.

    Broke Pulper

    TT MBP. The Toscotec Broke Pulper TT MBP is designed to be installed under machine both in tissue, paper and board applications.

    Turbo Separator

    TT TMC. The Toscotec Turboseparator TT TMC is installed in recycled paper stock preparation lines as primary screen to treat the accept stream of the Toscotec Low Density Pulper.

    Vortiscreen 3 Series

    TT VS-3. The Toscotec Vortiscreen TT VS-3 can be installed as the only coarse screen in converting broke lines or as the last tail screening stage for the treatment of the rejects coming from drilled Toscotec Superscreens in recycled paper processing lines.

    Vortiscreen 1 Series

    TT VS-1. The Toscotec Vortiscreen TT VS-1 is used in recycled paper stock preparation plants mainly for the detrashing of the continuous TM Pulpers and as a dumping machine of high consistency batch pulpers.

    Superscreen

    TT SS. The Toscotec Superscreen TT SS is a horizontal screen with basket and rotor designed to be installed as a coarse or fine screen in recycled paper stock preparation plants. It is optimal to treat stock up to a working consistency of 5%.

    High Density Cleaner

    TT HDC. Engineered to work both with virgin pulp and recycled paper, the Toscotec High Density Cleaner TT HDC is designed to reliably remove heavier than fiber contaminants, suspended in consistencies up to 6%, directly after the pulper.

    Thickening Screw

    TT CA. The Toscotec Thickening Screw TT CA is an inclined screw thickener; it can be configured as a Single Unit or as Combined Units (up to 3 Units on a single stand and with only one feeding headbox) for higher capacity and reduced footprint.

    Wire Washer

    TT CW. The Toscotec Wire Washer TT CW is used to obtain an efficient removal of ashes, inks, glues, and fines by means of low consistency stock washing and consequent thickening.

    Short Approach Flow System

    TT SAF. Toscotec Short Approach Flow TT SAF, patented by Toscotec since 2012, allows every mill, new or existing one, to reduce energy consumptions and installation space, without compromises in terms of performances.
