ABSTRACT There are obvious differences in the refining characteristics of plates with straight bars compared to curved bar plates having the same bar parameters during refining. The objective of this research is to explore the difference in the refining characteristics of the straight bar and curved bar plates on experimental and theoretical studies. The bar angle of the curved bar plate is defined, and the two plates are used in the refining of bleached sulphate eucalyptus pulp (BSEP). Samples at different refining times were collected, and the properties of the fibers, pulp, and paper were detected and analyzed. It was found that the curved bar and straight bar plates have a similar influence on the pulp SR freeness. However, the curved bar plate effectively retained the fiber length, which means that its fiber cutting effect is weaker than that of the straight bar plate. Meanwhile, the fiber external fibrillation of the samples refined by the curved bar plate was better than that of the samples refined by the straight bar, which showed a higher tensile and tear index of the formed paper. Through the theoretical analysis of refining intensity via characterization of the parameter bar edge length (BEL), the specific edge load (SEL) of the curved bar plate was lower, and the refining characteristics predicted by the refining intensity were similar to the results from the experiments conducted in this paper..

In the following refining stage, the fiber bond-. in Fig. 16, it can be found that the number of long. ing force continued to increase, but the fiber average length, which was the main factor affecting the tensile index in the latter section, decreased, and thus, overrefining would lead to a decrease of the tensile index.1) It can be seen from Fig. 14 that the maximum tensile index of the formed paper obtained from the curved bar plate was 44.44 N·m/ g, which was higher than that of the straight bar plate at 36.63 N·m/g. As shown in Fig. 15, the tear index of the formed papers obtained by the two plates was quite different, and the change trend was almost consistent with that of the tensile index, which shared the same turning point. Furthermore, the maximum tear index of the formed paper obtained from the straight bar plate was. Fig. 15.
