Abstract: Methods for mixing a treatment agent with a pulp suspension are disclosed including supplying the pulp suspension to a mixing chamber, moving the pulp suspension through a mixing zone with the mixing chamber, supplying the treatment agent to the moving pulp suspension across the entire width of the mixing chamber prior to the mixing zone, and in which the height of the mixing zone is sufficiently small such that the pulp suspension and the treatment agent are subjected to kneading within the mixing zone in order to repeatedly stretch and compress fiber flocks in the pulp suspension. Apparatus for mixing the treatment agent with the pulp suspension are also disclosed.
