Waste paper and stock preparation

Dissolution of waste paper and cellulosein the pulper
Waste paper or cellulose bales are transported into the pulper via a conveyor belt and dissolved there through the addition of process water. Through the mechanical action of agitators, the fibres are separated for the further steps of stock preparation. The process conditions in the pulper are characterized by strong pressure shocks from falling bales, vortex formation from fast rotating agitators as well as heavy abrasion from foreign substances such as wires, glass, stones, etc.
Belt monitoring with VEGAMIP 61
The microwave level switch VEGAMIP 61 contactlessly detects the loading height on the conveyor belt. Possible blockages are also detected, thus ensuring the automatic operation of the system.
Level measurement with VEGABAR 52
The hydrostatic level measurement monitors the correct proportion of waste paper or cellulose to process water. A VEGABAR 52 pressure transmitter with a robust CERTEC® measuring cell is implemented here. The gauge is mounted in a socket inclined in the direction of rotation and equipped with a rinsing facility. In pulpers for water-resistant paper with low pH value, VEGABAR 55 with a metallic, highly chemically stable METEC® measuring cell is used.
