RESEARCH OF FIBER CUTTING KINETICS WHILE PROCESSING WATER-FIBER SUSPENSIONS IN ROTARY PULSATION APPARATUS

The results of experimental research of fiber concentration in water-fiber suspensions impact on the fiber length changing kinetics during processing in a single-stage rotary pulsation apparatus (RPA) are presented. The dependences are obtained, which are described by a simple empirical formula, which makes it possible to predict the average fiber length depending on the processing time for devices of a given design and can be used when carrying out technological calculations. The energy characteristics of the RPA operating modes are determined. The results of the study allow a more reasonable approach to choose rational modes of suspensions processing.
