Study on Air Separator for Wood Fibers

Abstract

For the development of the mechanism to classify wood fibers, which affects the quality and the cost most seriously in the dry process for the production of hardboards, a small scaled air separator of our new design was manufactured for trial, and its classifying efficiencies for the wood fibers were experimentayl investigated.
The experimental results obtained were quite satisfactory and the fineness of manufactures was the separated almost perfect.
Moreover the consideration for the scalinge-up on the air separator of this type was also tried, and a reliable method, was introduced.
