Latest Patents
Gingras's latest patents include two innovative designs for refiner plates. The first patent, titled "Refiner Plate with Chicanes," describes a refiner plate for the face of a refiner disc. This design features a plurality of refiner segments arranged side-by-side to create a substantially annular refining region. Each segment is equipped with bars, chicanes, and grooves that facilitate the refining of lignocellulosic material while forming a zig-zag path for steam transmission during the refining process. The chicanes are strategically designed to define a series of arcuate lines extending from the junction of the inlet and refining zones to the outer edge of the plate in a counter-rotation direction.
The second patent, "Refiner Plate with Variable Pitch," also focuses on the design of a refiner plate. This invention comprises a plurality of refiner segments that form an inner and outer refining zone. The outer zone includes radially disposed bars and channels, with at least one top surface featuring a radially extending groove that defines blades and an intermediate base surface. This innovative design allows for enhanced material refinement by optimizing the flow and processing of the material.
