Kadant is a leading supplier of the pulp and paper industry. As such, Kadant is developing a new disk filterdesign and will build a prototype. This prototype will have 2 or 3 disks compared to up to 30 for a commercialunit. The disks of the prototype will have the same diameter as the future commercial units. It is essential forKadant to fully prove the possibilities of this new concept before commercialization. Operation data must begathered in order to establish the performance of the prototype in different conditions. Kadant does not have adisk filter in its product line to offer to its customer. In order to present a new product to the industry, Kadantmust demonstrate that its new concept is worthwhile. This will be a new product line for Kadant and that willboost its strong reputation in stock preparation systems. New, improved machinery is also of primerimportance for the Canadian pulp and paper industry which must improve its processes and paper products toremain competitive. The Canadian paper companies that will invest in new equipment, such as an efficientdisk filter, will take a step in the direction of competiveness and efficiency. The project submitted is todevelop the product technology, and if successful, commercial design and manufacturing could be done inKadant facilities and Canadian based sub-contractors as appropriate. This will employ highly qualifiedCanadians. Additionally, the installation of new disk filters in Canadian mills will be done by Canadians. Theproposed project is the first major collaboration between Kadant and Innofibre. It is the intent of Innofibre andKadant to pursue this development with subsequent projects. Innofibre will expand its expertise aboutdewatering equipment which will be transferred to the Canadian industry.

Kadant是纸浆和造纸行业的领先供应商。因此，Kadant正在开发一种新的盘式过滤器设计，并将建立一个原型。这个原型将有2或3个磁盘相比，高达30个商业单位。原型的圆盘将具有与未来商业装置相同的直径。在商业化之前，Kadant必须充分证明这一新概念的可能性。必须收集运行数据，以确定样机在不同条件下的性能。Kadant在其产品线中没有向客户提供盘式过滤器。为了向业界展示新产品，Kadant必须证明其新概念是值得的。这将是Kadant的一条新产品线，并将提高其在浆料制备系统中的声誉。新的，改进的机械也是加拿大纸浆和造纸工业的首要任务，必须改善其工艺和纸产品，以保持竞争力。加拿大造纸公司将投资于新设备，如高效盘式过滤器，将朝着竞争力和效率的方向迈出一步。提交的项目是开发产品技术，如果成功，商业设计和制造可以在Kadant工厂和加拿大的分包商进行。这将雇用高素质的加拿大人。此外，在加拿大米尔斯工厂安装新的盘式过滤器将由加拿大人完成。该项目是Kadant和Innofibre之间的首次重大合作。Innofibre和Kadant的意图是在后续项目中继续这一发展。Innofibre将扩大其在脱水设备方面的专业知识，并将其转移到加拿大工业。
