Development of a new disk filter concept for improved paper stock dewatering and better process water management

卡丹特是纸浆和造纸行业的领先供应商。因此，卡丹特正在开发一种新的圆盘过滤器**设计，并将建造一个原型。这个原型将有2到3个磁盘，而商业**设备最多有30个磁盘。原型的圆盘直径将与未来的商业单位相同。卡丹特在商业化之前必须充分证明这一新概念的可能性。为了确定样机在不同条件下的性能，必须**收集运行数据。Kadant的产品线中没有**圆盘过滤器可以提供给客户。为了向业界展示一款新产品，卡丹特**必须证明其新概念是值得的。这将是卡丹特的一条新产品线，这将**提升其在备料系统中的良好声誉。新的、改进的机械对加拿大纸浆和造纸行业也具有重要意义，该行业必须改进其工艺和纸张产品，才能**保持竞争力。加拿大造纸公司将投资于新设备，如高效圆盘过滤器，它们将朝着具有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**卡丹特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，加拿大工厂安装新的圆盘过滤器的工作将由加拿大人完成。**提议的项目是卡丹特和Innofibre之间的第一次重大合作。Innofibre和**Kadant的意图是在后续项目中追求这一发展。Innofibre将扩展其在**脱水设备方面的专业知识，这些设备将转移到加拿大的行业。

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