DEFIBERING THE DIFFICULT
The TORNADO PULPER handles the materials considered impossible to defiber.

The Tornado Pulper is also the most efficient pulper for the recovery of waste from products considered impossible to defiber such as high wet strength, electrical insulation papers, gasket stock, map paper, shoe-board, and flooring base, eliminating ecological problems and disposal cost.

It’s the pulper for mills requiring an economical, low-maintenance, compact pulper for pre-treating impossible raw stocks such as cotton, h**p, flax, leather, and synthetic fibers eliminating the need for beaters.

OTHER MATERIALS PROCESSED BY THE TORNADO

• High Wet Strength Paper and Board Products: Converted to individual fibers and recycled into new products for board mills or paper mills
• Textiles, and Carpet: Converted to individual fibers for a variety of purposes including making of paper
• Plastic Sheet Materials: Converted to very small particles suitable for co-firing boilers for the production of electricity
• Agricultural Waste and Purpose Grown Crops: Transformed to fibers for a myriad of products
• Meat Processing Waste Including Large Bones and/or Carcasses: Pulverized in a matter of minutes for conversion to a variety of products for fertilizer or composting

The Hydraflow Continuous Lights Detrasher is a durable system that produces a constant output of low-density, light-weight rejects.

Provides ample circulation to defiber entrained paper flakes, the Hydraflow and Maximizer bedplate work together to control accept quality. Accepted pulp passes through the bedplate and moves forward in the system while the Hydraflow removes debris from the pulp, increasing production output and pulp residence time.

The Hydraflow Continuous Lights Detrasher is your number one solution for detrashing the trash, while the additionally included Hydraflow Trash Pump feeds the detrasher and compliments your fiber processing system.

The benefits of OEM rotor rebuilds has been discussed on this platform before. Original geometries and patented metallurgy. Trained service personnel and a history of dependability.

Kadant brings all this and more. So, if you ask, “Why R&D?”, the proof is in the results.

Clients are reporting 306 operating days with our rotor on their 20’ pulper versus an average of around 150 days with the previous rotor builds. Building up the power savers, fixing the lift, making improvements based on our 3D rotor scans at this mill have really proven successful.

Learn more about our rotor rebuilds, rotor exchange programs, and all our service and solution offerings.

What's good for the Hub is good for the Tub

Do you plan on pulling the hub for a complete inspection? If you said no, you may not be alone, but you will be shortchanging the life of your system. The extra effort to properly check the rotor hub, bedplate, and related wear parts is proven to be well worth the time.

Run to failure should not be an option. Unseen and unchecked damage from entrapped wires and other debris can cause unnecessary damage and unprofitable shutdowns, and an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

For heavily contaminated furnishes, Kadant offers our exclusive hard-faced wire blocking technology that helps eliminate entrapped wire and debris from entering the pulper mechanical assembly.

Wear-resistant bedplate for maximized defibering of recycled paper stock. Patented diamond-design provides increased defibering edges aligned to maximize the attrition of fiber flakes across the bedplate. This delivers quicker defibering and improved hydraulic performance.

Two-sided performance and quick-mount construction means lower cost and quicker change-outs. The perfect upgrade for any pulper.
