SELF-ALIGNING AND ACTIVELY COMPENSATING REFINER STATOR PLATE SYSTEM

摘要

An improvement to a mechanical refining system relates to an apparatus including three or more actuators (100) coupled to a stator (42) of the refining system, and a controller for independently operating the actuators. An improved method of refining permits adjustment of the overall width of a refining gap between refining elements mounted by the stator and a rotor as well as the trim of the refining elements relative to each other
