REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION:
[001] The invention disclosed in the application is an improvement in or a modification of the invention disclosed and claimed in the specification of the Patent Application No. 202321052743, and claims benefits under section 54-56 of the Patents Act, 1970.
FIELD
[002] The present disclosure relates to the field of paper pulp refining equipment. More particularly, the present invention relates to variable grooved refiner disc.
BACKGROUND
[003] The patent application no. 202321052743 published on 27th October 2023 discloses the refiner plate configured with the dual configuration by means of vacuum brazing and positive interlocking method in order to enhance the durability and bonding of the refiner disc with the thinner bar up to 0.5mm in order to increase the number of a rib configured with a tile and base plate to increase the refining capacity and efficacy. Wherein said dual configuration of said vacuum brazing and said positive interlocking facilitates a robust juncture of said rib to tile configuration and said configuration of said rib-to-tile with said base plate in order to form a sector and configuration of said sector with the backup plate in order to formulate said complete refiner disc. Whereas said thinner bar size with the rigid juncture configuration facilitate the higher quality of pulp refining quality with increased cutting edge length to enhance the material processing rate in order to boost the efficiency and efficacy of said refiner disc and said refiner. Further, said pulp refining efficacy and efficiency can be increased to the next level by means of the implication of the variable groove in order to increase the material flow along the grooves formed by means of said formulation of ribs. Furthermore, in case of the refiner disc configuration with the varied consistency pulp refining, the wood or recycled fibers requires to be processed between two relatively rotating discs on which said refiner disc required to be mounted. Wherein said radial ribs and grooves configured to process the slurry with the fiber in order to perform the refining of said pulp. Wherein during said processing of said slurry with the fiber a large volume of steam is produced between said disc as a result of said refining process. Whereas in order to achieve the alleviated pulp refining, said fibers must be retained between the surfaces of said refiner disc configured with said ribs for longer time as possible despite of the high velocity of the flowing steam, and the enormous centrifugal forces produced due to the rotation of said refiner discs. However, in case a typical refiner disc with radial bars and grooves, said ribs provides impacts or pressure pulses that separate and fibrillate the fibers and said grooves enable feeding of the fibers and steam extraction, wherein near the perimeter of said disc the high radial steam flow and high centrifugal force both act to sweep the fibers outwardly from between said disc prematurely, which leads in reducing the refining effectiveness. Whereas the flow restrictions due to a small gap between the opposing faces of said disc and fiber-filled grooves result in a steam pressure peak between said disc, located radially inward from the perimeter. The force of this pressure peak on said discs is a major source of the refining thrust load, and can induce control instability at high operating loads. Therefore, it is desirable that the steam generated during refining be discharged from the refining region formed by said discs as quickly as possible, while the pulp required to be retained within said refining region as long as possible. Wherein said evacuation of steam is especially difficult for refiner discs which have a thin rib pattern of relatively thinner bars and grooves in said refining zone as disclosed in the patent application no. 202321052743. Said entrapped steam produces and or any type of heat generated during the refining process which impacts fiber per revolution adversely than coarser refiner discs, and said grooves on thinner refining zones narrower reduce the cross-sectional area available for the flow of steam and consequently, the grooves in thin refining zones lead to plugging due to the accumulation of the material being refined to reduce the refining efficacy and efficiency. Moreover, in the case of conventional refiner discs with said groove width greater than a certain minimum, to reduce the amount of said plugging and such a minimum groove width effectively limits the fineness of said refiner disc, in addition, said rib of thin refining zones are very narrow and have a height that is high in relationship to the width of the rib consequently, makes said ribs prone to breakage.
[004] Therefore, the application of said variable groove design with said dual vacuum brazing and positive interlocked configuration for said refiner disc can further enhance the reining efficacy and efficiency.

In one preferred embodiment said height (Z2) can be maintained for at least 0.5 mm. Wherein said intrusion of height (Z2) within base plate from said varied valley tiles (303) increases the surface area for application of a bonding agent (307) that can be applied in the same manner as of said previous embodiment on a surface (307a) of said rib (302), a surface (307b) of said varied valley tile (303) and a surface (307c) of said base plate (304) and additional on a surface (307d) of said rib (302) passes through said varied valley tile (303) and a surface (307e) of said rib (302) intruded in said base plate (304) respectively to increase the bonding surface area at least for said surface (307d, 307e) in order to formulate stronger and rigid juncture of said assembly (306) with smooth heat treatment and formation of undetachable or unbreakable diffusion bond for said assembly (306) by means of said vacuum brazing method.
