When pulping wood chips (especially by the “Kraft” process) size is very important.
1% yield change = 5-10,000,000 $/Y change in mill revenue

Why do we screen chips?
Small wood particles do NOT dissolve !!

Chip Size Distribution
Too big:1. Oversize / Overlong :
physical handling problems
2. Overthick : pulping chemical penetration problems, yield loss, knotter rejects, shives
Too small:3. Pin chips :
liquor circulation problems
4. Fines :lower yield, higher dirt and bark, lower strength pulp (shorter pulp fiber length)
Too big and Too small chips and Issues:

Screening for OverthickGyratory Screens
Sizes range from 4 to 14 feet wide by 6 to 24 feet long
Screens sloped 7 to 15 degrees From 2 to 5 inch circular motion Rotation speed from 180 to 300
RPM Can alter hole size inexpensively
to alter performance Deck materials can be mild or
stainless steel, to resist wear and corrosion

Screening for OverthickGyratory Screens
Thickness separation based on typically strong correlation between chip length, width and thickness for large chips
Perform by stratifying chips into sizes
Can get high removal efficiency, but generally high carry-over; I.E., Not real high performance index
Relatively inexpensive to obtain and maintain compared to other ‘true’ thickness screens

Roll Screen vs. Bar Screen
The DiamondRoll VIRO Thickness Screen has very accurate slot openings, which remain accurate after years of operation. Bar screen misalignment requires regular adjustment.
![Page 16: Chip Screening, Contaminants Removal and Overs and ... · Roll Fines Screen Rolls with targeted diamond knurled pattern Inter-roll spacing distance 0.5 to 3 mm Variable speed to significantly](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050523/5fa67be69a651e777f386e32/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Overthick Chip ReductionSlicers
Very efficient overthick reduction with some fines and pins generation 2 drums rotating same direction at different speeds
• outer knife ring • inner anvil or paddle ring rotates faster, pushes overthick chips
through 6 to 7.5 mm knife gap

Chip CleaningAir Density Separators
Rock removal for overthick chip treatment protection Will remove some dense wood - knots Quite efficient at removing dense tramp material Noisy, and require a lot of power for fan

ADS Rejects Are More Than Rocks• Air flow is adjustable to control the size and quality that is removed
• Measure air flow in the separation zone for best control
• Knots, compression wood, mud, ice lumps
• Few good wood pieces
• Knots, compression wood, mud, ice lumps
