A refiner for refining pulps, includes a shaft, a rotor disc attached firmly to the shaft and a shaft bearing, the rotor disc being disposed between two stator discs and forming a refining chamber between the rotor disc and the stator discs. The shaft is movable in an axial direction and the shaft bearing is connected hydraulically to the refining chamber, ensuring low wear on the rotor discs and stator discs and, in particular, on the refiner plates on these discs, also in continuous operation.

Apparatus for grinding a fibrous material suspension

A modular support structure comprising multiple chord or arc modules configured to selectively fixedly engage adjacent modules to define a completed annular support structure configured to support a rotary element of a rotary filter. The modular chord or arc segments may fixedly engaged an adjacent chord or arc segment through a fixing mechanism selected from the group consisting of: fasteners, clamps, pins, bolts, locks, locking mechanisms, key and socket mechanisms, spot welding, welding, adhesives, and other fastening mechanisms configured to engage and disengage adjacent chord or arc modules with ease.
