A refiner for beating a raw material supplied between a stator beating part and a rotor beating part, and discharging the beaten raw material, the refiner including a rotating shaft, the rotor beating part attached to the rotating shaft, a motor configured to drive the rotating shaft; and a motor control part configured to variably control a rotation of the motor. The rotation of the motor of the rotor beating part is controlled by the motor control part to beat the raw material.

A set for mechanical processing suspended fibrous material includes a die plate having receiving openings in a predefined arrangement for insertion of blade-shaped processing elements which jut out on a process side and are flowed onto by the fibrous material. The blade-shaped processing elements have each a plurality of foot regions in longitudinally spaced-apart relation, which pass through the die plate (2) and jut out from the die plate on a process-distal. At least some of the foot regions of the processing elements reach into associated receiving grooves of a base plate on the process-distal side. As an alternative, transverse stiffening elements are arranged substantially orthogonally in the longitudinal direction of the processing elements such that the transverse stiffening elements stabilize the foot regions of the processing elements on the process-distal side.

A loading device (10) is used to adjust the size of a blade gap (9) in processing equipment for processing fibrous material. The loading device has a gearing (12) coupled in connection with a processing element (5, 6) to move the processing element (5, 6) in respect of another processing element (5, 6) for adjusting the size of the blade gap (9) between the processing elements. A cage induction motor (14) has a shaft (15) coupled to the gearing for operating the gearing, a position sensor (16) for measuring a rotational position (M-RP) of the shaft of the motor for indicating a position of the processing element in respect of the another processing element, and a frequency converter (17) coupled to the position sensor and to the motor for controlling the operation of the motor based on the measured rotational position of the shaft of the motor.

A method for manufacturing microfibrillated cellulose, a particulate grinding medium suitable for use in said method, a material which wears rough, and a method for making said particulate grinding medium.

A cast metal plate segment for a refiner of lignocellulosic material or a disperser of comminuted paper or packaging products, the plate segment including a front side with a front surface configured to refine the lignocellulosic material or disperge the comminuted paper or packaging products, and a back side, opposite to the front side, including a corner or edge, wherein the corner or edge comprises a casted surface between machined planar surfaces adjacent the corner or edge.

A dispersion machine for removing impurities from a fiber which includes a housing, a feed port and a discharge port arranged on the housing, and several processing components arranged in the housing wherein the processing component includes a connection portion and a scraping portion. When the processing component moves, the scraping portion is adapted to contact the fiber and moves relative to a surface of the fiber so as to remove impurities from the fiber surface. A feed screw rod and a discharge screw rod for processing material are also arranged in the housing to repeatedly feed material, discharge material and remove impurities form the fiber surface. The dispersion machine can be used to remove impurities from fiber in the papermaking field, textile field and the like, so as to obtain a raw material with a low impurity content.

A driving assistance apparatus including a display part, a detection part detecting a degree of approach from a subject vehicle to a preceding vehicle and a microprocessor. The microprocessor is configured to perform acquiring traffic light information including switching information on a traffic light and position information on a position of the subject vehicle with respect to the traffic light, deriving a recommended driving for the driver based on the traffic light information and the position information, and controlling the display part so as to notify the driver of information on a recommended vehicle speed included in the recommended driving, and further perform the controlling including controlling the display part so as to change and display information on a maximum value of the recommended vehicle speed included in the recommended driving in accordance with the degree of approach.

A refining member for a pulp refiner comprising a refining body with a refining surface comprising refiner bars separated by refiner grooves and teeth. Each of the refiner bars extend from a radially inward position on the refining surface to a first radially outward position on the refining surface, and the teeth extend to a second radially outward position on the refining surface. The second radially outward position is nearer to an outermost part of the refining body than the first radially outward position. The refiner bars are adapted to refine wood fibers, and the teeth are adapted to break up fiber bundles.
