Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a refiner plate segment in a refiner plate for mechanically refining of lignocellulosic material in a refiner, said refiner plate segment comprising at least a first, generally radially extending bar, a second, generally radially extending bar, a groove arranged and defined between said first, generally radially extending bar and said second, generally radially extending bar, and a main dam, which has a height H and is arranged in the groove, wherein a pre-dam is arranged in front of the main dam, said pre-dam has a height h which is less than the height H of the main dam.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A refiner plate segment in a refiner plate for mechanically refining of lignocellulosic material in a refiner, said refiner plate segment comprising at least: a first, generally radially extending bar, a second, generally radially extending bar a groove arranged and defined between said first, generally radially extending bar and said second, generally radially extending bar, a main dam, which has a height H and is arranged in the groove, and a pre-dam arranged in front of the main dam, said pre-dam having a height h which is less than the height H of the main dam, the pre-dam being arranged a distance L in front of the main dam, where L is measured from a leading edge of the pre-dam to a leading edge of the main dam and where (H−h)≤L≤3(H−h). 2. The refiner plate segment according to claim 1 , where H/4≤h≤3H/4. 3. The refiner plate segment according to claim 1 , including a base plate, the pre-dam and the main dam being arranged on the base plate, which has a thickness b, where 0<b<h. 4. The refiner plate segment according to claim 1 , wherein the pre-dam has a straight or chamfered profile and that the main dam has a straight or chamfered profile. 5. A refiner plate for mechanically refining of lignocellulosic material in a refiner, said refiner plate comprising at least: a first, generally radially extending bar, a second, generally radially extending bar a groove arranged and defined between said first, generally radially extending bar and said second, generally radially extending bar, a main dam, which has a height H and is arranged in the groove and a pre-dam arranged in front of the main dam, said pre-dam having a height h which is less than the height H of the main dam, and the pre-dam is arranged a distance L in front of the main dam where L is measured from a leading edge of the pre-dam to a leading edge of the main dam and where (H−h)≤L≤3(H−h). 6. The refiner plate according to claim 5 , wherein H/4≤h≤3H/4. 7. The refiner plate according to claim 5 , including a base plate, the pre-dam and the main dam being arranged on the base plate, which has a thickness b, where 0<b<h. 8. The refiner plate according to claim 5 , where in the pre-dam has a straight or chamfered profile and the main dam has a straight or chamfered profile.
