Title: Innovations of Heinrich F Munster
Introduction
Heinrich F Munster is a notable inventor based in Vienna, Austria. He has made significant contributions to the field of mechanical refining, particularly in the processing of lignocellulosic materials. With a total of two patents to his name, Munster's work showcases his innovative approach to refining technology.
Latest Patents
Munster's latest patents include the "Twin conical refiner with dual ribbon feeders" and the "Two-stage variable intensity refiner." The twin conical refiner patent describes an apparatus and method for mechanically refining high consistency lignocellulosic feed material in a frustroconical refining zone. This invention facilitates the backflow of steam generated in the refining zone, allowing the feed material to enter the refining zone without blockage or flow interruption. The design includes a hybrid feed/grinding zone that effectively reduces the size of the material while conveying it into the refining zone against the backflowing steam.
The two-stage variable intensity refiner patent details a high consistency pulp refiner with a pressurized casing containing opposed grinding discs. This invention allows for the introduction of material near the axis of the discs, moving it radially outward through an inner refining zone while producing steam. The refined material and steam are then discharged through a material outlet, with a flow path designed to divert steam produced in the first refining zone away from the second refining zone.
