Abstract: A blade element (1) for a refiner for refining fibrous material comprises a refining surface (3) provided with blade bars (8, 10) and blade grooves (9, 11) there-between. The blade bars (8, 10) have side walls (8?, 8??) facing away from one another. The side walls (8?, 8??) of the at least one blade bar (8) comprise on both of its side walls (8?, 8??) steps (14?, 14??) which extend at least partly in the transversal direction relative to the side walls (8?, 8??) of the blade bar (8) and away from one another.

Abstract: A refiner is disclosed comprising relatively rotatable inner and outer conical refining blades. The refining blades are coaxially arranged around a symmetry axis and are provided with first bars and second bars, respectively, for the grinding of fibrous material. The inner conical refining blade or any of the first bars of the inner conical refining blade extend further along the symmetry axis, in the direction of the tapering of the inner and outer conical refining blades, than the outer conical refining blade or any of the second bars of the counter conical refining blade.

Abstract: Refiner comprising relatively rotatable inner 2 and outer 3 conical refining blades. The refining blades 2, 3 being coaxially arranged around a symmetry axis 6 and being provided with first bars 200 and second bars 300, respectively, for grinding of fibrous material. The inner conical refining blade 2 or any of the first bars 200 of the inner conical refining blade 2 extends further along the symmetry axis 6, in the direction of the tapering of the inner 2 and outer 3 conical refining blades, than the outer conical refining blade 3 or any of the second bars 300 of the outer conical refining blade 3.

Abstract: A blade element (20) for a conical portion (4) of a stator (2) of a refiner (1). The blade element (20) has a feed end (24), a discharge end (25), and a refining surface (21) which has a feed zone (26) at the feed end (24) of the blade element (20). The feed zone (26) of the blade element (20) has at least one guide groove (29) extending from the feed end (24) toward the discharge end (25) for guiding a flow of material to be refined from the feed end (24) toward the discharge end (25). The depth of the guide groove (29) is arranged to change in a direction transverse in relation to the extending direction of the guide groove (29).

Abstract: Refining elements are disclosed for use in refiners in which the refining elements comprise a refining surface with a plurality of raised bars alternating with a plurality of grooves. The raised bars at the inlet of the refining path have a first spacing and form a first angle with respect to a radius or generatrix defining the refining path and the plurality of raised bars at the outlet of the refining path have a second spacing and form a second angle with respect to the radius or generatrix, the first angle being between about 50.degree. and 85.degree. and the second angle being between about -25.degree. and +25.degree., and the first spacing being greater than the second spacing.

Abstract: A refining element is disclosed for use in a disk refiner having a refining element holder surface including a plurality of attachment holes, the refining element including a plurality of working members on its front surface and a rear surface adapted to be attached to the refining element holder, the refining element further includes a plurality of attachment through holes extending through the refining element for attachment to the refining element holder at corresponding attachment holes therein, whereby attachment screws can be provided for affixing the refining element to the refining element holder through the plurality of attachment through holes, and at least one removal hole including threads and being substantially centrally located on the refining element, whereby the refining element can be removed from the refining element holder by extending a removal screw through the removal hole to apply pressure for removal of the refining element against the refining element holder.
