Abstract: Methods are provided for crystallizing a filler, especially in order to precipitate calcium carbonate on the surfaces of solids in the short circulation of a fiber web machine by feeding carbon dioxide and lime milk to the liquid flow of the short circulation and allowing them to react with one another, is characterized in that the feed system, the mixing method and/or mixing rate of the chemicals are selected such that a size distribution of the calcium carbonate crystals suitable for the purpose is obtained. Moreover, the invention relates to an approach system for a fiber web machine applying this method, characterized in that it is provided with devices for feeding and mixing carbon dioxide and lime milk into the liquid flow at such a rate that the applicable size distribution of the calcium carbonate crystals is obtained.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for pretreating fibre material to be used in manufacturing paper or the like, for example, by precipitating mineral substances to the fibres. During precipitation, fibre material, which is advantageously pretreated in a through-flow mixer operating on the principle of an impact mill, is fed to the precipitation reactor. Gas is led to the precipitation reactor in order to generate a gas space in the reactor. The gas contains a substance, which precipitates the mineral substance such as carbon dioxide (CO2). The fibre material is fed to the gas space of to the precipitation reactor as small liquid and solid substance fractions such as drops and/or particles.

Abstract: This invention relates to a group package (1) for sheet material such as printing and photocopy paper, and a method for manufacturing the protective wrap of the group package and the group package itself. In the group package (1), a number of paper bundles (1a) wrapped in their own ream wraps (2a) consisting of at least a base paper layer (19a), are placed within a shared protective wrap (2). The material of the protective wrap (2) and of the wrap (2a) of the paper bundles (1a) is formed by adding plastic, a polymer mixture or another suitable material to one or both of the materials, in suitable quantities to make the combined water vapour transmission rate (WVTR) of the protective wrap (2) and the wrap (2a) less than approx. 50 g/m2/d, as calculated according to the ISO 2528:1995 standard.

Abstract: A paper pulp used in papermaking is produced as follows: fiber material is fed into a precipitation reactor; a reactive mineral material is fed into the reactor; the reactive mineral material and the fiber material are combined to form a fiber suspension in the reactor and/or before feeding these materials into the reactor; a gas containing a precipitant is fed into the reactor thereby precipitating the reactive mineral material in order to form a gas space containing the precipitant; the fiber suspension fed into the reactor and/or formed there is dispersed into small parts into the gas space, whereby the precipitated mineral material forms a filler on the fibers; the treated fiber suspension is discharged from the reactor; the filler-containing paper pulp is fed to the forming section of the paper machine; water is removed from the paper pulp; and the resulting paper web is dried and finished.
