The invention relates to a system of producing MFC (micro fibrillated cellulose) having a process device (30) of a pulper, a refiner or a screen configured to process MFC suspension to consistency of 0.5-5%. The system has a continuous pressing means (15; 25, 26) configured to dry the MFC suspension to a consistency of 6-60%. A method of producing MFC has at least one process stage (30) which processes a MFC suspension to a consistency of 0.5-5% by a process device (30). In the process stage the MFC suspension is pulped in a pulping stage in a pulper and/or refined in a refining stage by a refiner and/or screened in a screening stage by a screen. The MFC suspension having the consistency of 0.5-5% is dried in a drying stage of continuous pressing (15, 25, 26) by continuous a pressing device (15, 25, 26) to a consistency of 6-60%.

A disperser apparatus includes: a first disperser assembly configured to rotate around an axis; and a second disperser assembly facing the first disperser assembly. The first and second disperser assemblies each have a plurality of disperser-refiner plate segments annularly arranged. Each of the disperser-refiner plate segments includes a substrate having teeth extending from the substrate and arranged in rows disposed at radial intervals defining a dispersion section. Each tooth has a tooth height; and walls; and edges at junctions of adjacent walls. Each of the disperser-refiner plate segments further includes a refining section of refiner bars extending from the substrate, wherein adjacent refiner bars and the substrate define a groove between the adjacent refiner bars; and a plurality transition bars disposed between radially outermost teeth and the refining section.

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 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 method according to the present disclosure may includes preparing a urea solution by dissolving urea in distilled water, adding phosphoric acid to the urea solution, adding pulp to the solution in which urea and phosphoric acid are dissolved, heating the solution such that the urea and the phosphoric acid each react with the pulp and preparing nanocellulose by washing the pulp which is completely reacted, and then grinding the pulp, in which a weight of the phosphoric acid is 10 to 50% based on a weight of the pulp.

A method for controlling a device for treating a fibrous material includes the steps of: providing that the device includes a housing in which at least a first treatment tool and a second treatment tool are arranged; mounting at least one of the first base plate and the second base plate in an axially movable manner in order to compensate for a wear of the first treatment profile and the second treatment profile; measuring a distance between the first base plate and the second base plate respectively of the first treatment tool and the second treatment tool of a treatment nip during an operation of the device; and selecting a value of a total power depending on the distance between the first base plate and the second base plate of the at least one treatment nip.

A disperser-refiner plate segment includes a refining section disposed radially outward from a dispersion section. Teeth in the dispersion section have a height that exceeds a height of refining bars in the refining section.

The refining of a fibrous pulp is monitored and controlled by capturing at least one image of a pulp sample, determining the amount of all fibers or non-fibrillated fibers in the at least one image, determining the amount of fibrillated fibers in the at least one image, determining the relation between fibrillated fibers and all fibers or non-fibrillated fibers in the pulp on the basis of the amount of fibrillated fibers and the amount of all fibers or non-fibrillated fibers in the at least one image, generating a control parameter on the basis of the determined relation between fibrillated fibers and all fibers or non-fibrillated fibers in the pulp, and controlling fiber refining by at least one pulp refining device on the basis of the control parameter.

A fibrous product for use in a variety of applications. The fibrous product particularly well suited for use in thermoforming 3-D articles such as food packaging, automotive parts, and electronic packaging. The fibrous product can be biodegradable, recyclable, and compostable. The fibrous product can contain a first plant fiber that is a non-wood fiber.

There is provided a use of a pulp mixture for forming a container in a mould, which pulp mixture comprises: 65-90%, such as 70-84%, by dry weight of a first pulp having a Schopper-Riegler (SR) number of below 48, preferably below 40, more preferably below 30; and 10-35%, such as 16-30%, by dry weight of a second pulp having a Schopper-Riegler (SR) number of 60-90, preferably 70-90, more preferably 77-90. A pulp mixture and a method of producing a pulp mixture are also provided.
