  • Method for fiberizing wastepaper using an inline control valve for make-up air
    Patent number: 4808263
    Abstract: Fiberizer efficiency is improved by providing an inline control valve at the fiberizer feed inlet which automatically provides the fiberizer with make-up air proportional to the pressure differential between the fiberizer outlet and inlet. The make-up air tends to distribute the feed material more evenly within the feed inlet and provides a constant fiber/air ratio within the fiberizer.
