When addressing high consistency refining, mills need to use a systematic approach to achieve their refining goals.
The following steps will aid in achieving optimum process conditions and refiner plate design, improved plate life,
as well as improved refining efficiency with the minimum number of trial stages involved.
J&L SmartPlatesŪ is a key component within this process. SmartPlates uses temperature sensors embedded in refiner plates to provide information about
the refining process. SmartPlates is an "Eye In the Refiner". The patented SmartPlates concept is based on thermodynamic principles,
mass and energy balances.
Within the high consistency refining process, SmartPlates establishes the baseline of a mill's refining system and then is used to run controlled trials.
The information collected by SmartPlates is analyzed to create an optimum plate pattern and define optimum process operating windows.
SmartPlates is a tool for plate and process optimization.
