2 Safety Instructions
For operation of the machine, the local safety and accident prevention
rules and regulations are in any case binding.
Use
The Fiberizer is used for
– the wet preparation of waste paper,
– the removal of contaminants and for the forward screening of dis-
integrated fibres.
Additional regulations
In addition to the operating instructions, observe all other generally
applicable legal and other mandatory regulations relevant to accident
prevention and environmental protection and instruct the personnel to
comply with them.
Additional instructions
Supplement the operating manual by instructions covering the duties
involved in supervising and notifying special organizational features,
such as job organisation, working sequence or the personnel
entrusted with the work.
Checks
Check regularly whether the personnel carries out the work in compli-
ance with the operating instructions and whether they pay attention to
risks and safety factors.
Protective equipment
Use protective equipment wherever and whenever required.
Rebuilds or modifications
Never make any unauthorized rebuilds and modifications which might
impair safety. Any verbal agreements with the manufacturer or the
design engineer require written confirmation.
Lifting gears
Make sure that the lifting capacity of the lifting gears to be properly
installed is at least equal to the weight of the machine or of the parts
to be lifted (ð Sec. 3.3, Weights on page 3-1).
Guards
Guards must be removed only after the machine has been shut down
and secured against restart.
Ensure that all guards have been fitted again before starting or
restarting the machine.
Qualification of personnel
Any work on the machine must be executed only by trained and
instructed personnel authorized by the owner.
Responsibilities
Responsibilities in the operation of the machine must be clearly
established and observed, so that no unclear competences might
impair safety.

Principle of operation
The Fiberizer installed into the continuously operated Twin-pulp-Sys-
tem. The unsorted stock suspension, including contaminants, is sup-
plied from the pulper via a piping system to the Fiberizer (Fig. 4-1/1).
The non-disintegrated paper particles are repulped. The intensive
pulping effect is achieved by means of the radial screen plate ribs
(Fig. 4-1/2) and a specially designed rotor (Fig. 4-1/3). Accepts and
rejects valves are closed during repulping.
At regular intervals, the accepts valve is opened for several seconds
and the accepts are fed to the pulper dump chest. The contaminants
accumulate in the Fiberizer casing. The rejects valve for contaminants
discharge is controlled by a counter which counts the closing cycles of
the accepts valve. Depending on the contamination level, the rejects
valve is opened for 2…3 sec. during a certain accepts valve closing
cycle.
The pressure produced by the Fiberizer rotor conveys the contami-
nants and part of the stock suspension to a downstream screening
unit (e.g. a screen drum). To obtain a good separation of the contami-
nants from the stock suspension, it is best to reduce the 4…5% con-
sistency after the Fiberizer to approx. 2% by adding dilution water to
the rejects piping. The dilution water optimises the screening effect of
the downstream screening equipment.

machines are arranged in parallel
– avoiding stock return flows during repair work
Regulating valves
Motor
Preconditions
ü Motor is mounted.
Connect motor according to the VDE rules VDE/0100 and 0113 or the
locally applicable rules and regulations.
The motor shaft must rotate in such a way that the follow-
ing direction of machine shaft rotation is obtained when
considering the specific arrangement.
Preconditions
ü The main switch is switched off and secured against unintentional
restart.
ü Belt is dismounted.
Required parts
Mounting
1 2 3 4
Dismounting
à Loosen screws by several turns.
à Screw one of the screws into one of the provided jackscrew hole
(Fig. 5-9/4).
Preconditions
ü The main switch is switched off and secured against unintentional
restart.
ü The belt pulleys are mounted to motor and machine.
To install belts
à Adjust minimum centre distance between motor journal and rotor
shaft for belt mounting.
à Install belts.
To tension belts
à Tension belt with correct initial tension (ð Fig. 5-10, Guide values
for tensioning on page 5-14 and Tab. 5-2, Test data on
page 5-14).
à Turn drive several times so that the tension is distributed uniformly
among all belts.
NOTICE Loose belts result in lower power input and higher wear
(smell of burning rubber) or even screen plugging.
The belts must be retensioned after several hours of oper-
ation.

Preconditions
ü The main switch is switched off and secured against unintentional
start-up.
Preparations
à Preadjust valve positions and cycles to suit process engineering
conditions (ð Tab. 6-1, Operating cycles and times on
page 6-2).
Flushing
à Thoroughly flush inlet piping.
à Close inlet valve.
à Open machine (ð Sec. 8.4, Opening and closing the machine on
page 8-8).
à Thoroughly wash down machine with hose.
à Remove any heavy particles which have been flushed into the
machine.
Lubrication
ü Check grease lubrication for bearings (ð Sec. 8.2, Lubrication on
page 8-2).
Check list
à Close machine.
The machine is ready for operation when all items on the check list
have been checked.
Trial run
During its trial run, the machine is operated with water. The machine
is filled with water, vented and operated without pump pressure (note
down power consumption). Check direction of rotation once again
when switching the drive motor on (ð Sec. 5.7, Checking the direc-
tion of rotation on page 5-11).
6 Operation
Guards
Rotating parts, such as V-belts, couplings, shafts, rotors, etc. may
seize loose clothes, long hair, jewellery or limbs.
You might get seriously injured or killed.
The machine must never be used without the required guards.
Protection of persons
Unexpected incidents may result in personal injury.
To ensure rapid reaction, always check where the emergency stop
switch is installed and whether it works properly before putting the
machine in operation.
Safe operation
This machine is operated under pressure. Therefore, it must be
checked whether all casing covers, inspection ports, windows, etc.
are properly locked with undamaged, reliable fasteners.
Covers bursting open can lead to serious injuries and scalding.
The machine must never be used at pressures exceeding the maxi-
mum permissible inlet pressure (ð Sec. 3.4, Operating data on
page 3-2).
Higher pressures may occur if:
– the stock flow is not ensured, i.e. accepts and rejects valves must
be open.
– sudden pressure surges when the shut-off elements are shut too
abruptly.
Operating cycles
There is a fixed interdependence in the operation of the valves in inlet,
accepts and rejects.
Cycle Cycle time Operation Inlet valve Rejects valve Accepts valve
in sec.
6.3 Start-up
Preconditions
ü The main switch is switched off and secured against unintentional
start-up.
ü The preparations for initial start-up must have been completed
(ð Tab. 5-3, Check list on page 5-15).
Preparations
à Check belt tension (ð Tab. 5-2, Test data on page 5-14 und
Fig. 5-10, Guide values for tensioning on page 5-14).
à Retension belts, if necessary.
à Check bearing lubrication (ð Sec. 8.2, Lubrication on page 8-2).
à Check cover fastening and pipe connections for tight fit (no leak-
age).
Bearings
à Check bearing temperature.
q Max. bearing temperature 60°C.
Pressures
à Check inlet and outlet pressures.
q Inlet pressure must not exceed 2.5 bar. The differential pressure
ranges from 0.1 to 0.6 bar depending on furnish, stock consist-
ency, screen plate perforation and throughput.
Mechanical seal
à Check mechanical seal according to manufacturer specifications
(ð Sec. 12, Subcontractor Documentation).
6.5 Shutdown
Preconditions
ü Machine is shut down.
Prolonged shutdown
à Switch motor off.
Ä Inlet rejects and accepts valves close automatically.
à Close sealing-water feed line.
à Manually open cleanout opening to empty machine.
Cleaning
à Fill machine with fresh water through inlet pipe and flush carefully.
7 Troubleshooting
8 Maintenance
Guards
Ensure that all required guards have been fitted again after comple-
tion of all maintenance work.
Protection of persons
Ensure that the main switches of the machine and all upstream and
downstream machines are switched off and secured against uninten-
tional restart prior to any maintenance work.
Make also sure that the machine and all stock pipes to the machine
have been emptied and depressurised.
