This invention provides a continuous high-consistency refining
system and method, comprising a pulp press, a refiner, and a latent
fiber removal device connected in sequence. The invention utilizes a dedicated latent
fiber removal device downstream of the refiner to perform online, dynamic mechanical latent
fiber removal treatment on the pulp that is in a "latent state" after high-consistency refining. This
system achieves
continuous operation of the entire high-consistency refining process, from front-end wet pulp thickening and mid-stage mechanical refining to end-stage fiber latent fiber removal, significantly improving fiber quality. By eliminating the latent state of fibers through
mechanical force in a closed flow field, it effectively releases internal fiber stress and reduces fiber kinking and
crimp. This allows for the maintenance or even improvement of the
physical strength of the paper while reducing the use of expensive long-fiber raw materials in subsequent processes, thereby achieving cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and enhanced product quality. Furthermore, the entire
system has a compact flow, facilitating seamless integration with upstream and downstream processes and adapting to the continuous, high-speed production
rhythm of modern paper machines.
