Abstract
Radiata pine thermomechanical pulps with different fibre types and deg rees of development are shown to have different long fibre fractionati on and reject thickening characteristics. The high fractionation effic iencies achieved by smooth surface baskets with drilled holes can be e qualled by contoured surface screen baskets with fine, 0.15 mm slot wi dths. The screening performance of the latter baskets can be tuned by adjusting the rotor speed, to accommodate variations in the pulp prope rties.
