The refiner plate includes a refining surface that is adapted to be arranged oppositely a second refining surface of a second refiner disc on said refiner. The refining surface is provided with a plurality of refining bars, where at least one of the refining bars is provided with cavities that are at least partially embedded in the refining bars. At least one cavity provided on the at least one refining bar have one end arranged closer to the leading edge of a refining bar and one end arranged closer to the trailing edge of the refining bar and wherein the depth dimension of the cavity at the end is smaller than the depth dimension of the cavity at the end.

An assembly comprising an annular hub with a hub inner surface and a hub outer surface and a rotary third refining member having a central opening within a refining member inner surface. The refining member has at least two equally spaced apart member portions extending radially inwardly from the member inner surface, and the assembly includes a key for connecting the member portions to the hub. The assembly also include an annular cover plate with at least two radially extending spaced apart flanges, each flange overlying a member portion, and at least two spaced apart port plates, each port plate overlying a member portion side opposite the annular cover plate, the spaces between the at least two port plates defining ports from a first stock flow path to a second stock flow path.

A refining member including a refining body with a refining surface including first and second refiner bars separated by first and second refiner grooves. The first and second refiner bars extend from respective first and second radially inward positions to respective first and second radially outward positions. The first and second refiner bars have a respective first and second height extending upward from a floor of a respective, adjacent first or second refiner groove. The second height is a minimum height of the second refiner bars and is spaced apart from the second radially inward position, with the second height being at least about 0.35 mm less than the first height. The first refiner bars are adapted to refine wood fibers and the second refiner bars are adapted to break up fiber bundles.

A refiner for refining of lignocellulosic material includes a rotor disc and a stator disc. The rotor disc includes a first refining segment that includes a plurality of first protruding structures for grinding of the lignocellulosic material. Each of the first protruding structures is defined by a first height. The stator disc is arranged opposite the rotor disc and includes a second refining segment that includes a plurality of second protruding structures for grinding of the lignocellulosic material. Each of the second protruding structures being defined by a second height. The first height is at least three times larger than the second height.
