A refiner for beating a raw material supplied between a stator beating part and a rotor beating part, and discharging the beaten raw material, the refiner including a rotating shaft, the rotor beating part attached to the rotating shaft, a motor configured to drive the rotating shaft; and a motor control part configured to variably control a rotation of the motor. The rotation of the motor of the rotor beating part is controlled by the motor control part to beat the raw material.

Refiner

An apparatus for making paper includes a stirring tank and a paper making portion. The stirring tank includes: an outer cylinder; a middle cylinder disposed concentrically with the outer cylinder; a raw-material feeding port for feeding raw-material into said stirring tank; a stirring mechanisms; and a top plate for holding the outer and middle cylinders in a predetermined position. The paper making portion is installed below the stirring tank and includes: a wire cloth and a paper making frame having an opening for holding said wire cloth, and the opening is connected to a suction unit. The stirring mechanisms are uniformly disposed above the wire cloth. In addition, a plurality of raw-material feeding ports are uniformly disposed above the wire cloth.

Paper making method and apparatus

A wet friction material comprises a fiber base material, a filler and a binder: wherein the filler contains a disc-shaped diatomaceous earth; wherein the filler contains at least one of a filler having Mohs hardness of 8 to 9.5 and a diatomaceous earth and the binder contains a specific silicone resin binder; or wherein the binder contains another specific silicone resin binder.

Wet friction material

A wet friction material contains a fibrous base, a filler, a friction adjuster and a binder. The binder contains a material having siloxane bond. For example, the binder is a product of hardening of a hydrolytic solution of a silicon alkoxide.

A wet friction material with small initial variations in friction coefficient, suppressing occurrence of heat spots, and with excellent heat resistance and friction resistance is provided. In the wet friction material including a fiber base material, a filler, a friction controller, and a resin binder, the resin binder is a phenolic resin modified with p-nonyl phenol.

A wet frictional engagement plate comprising a core metal having a surface and a wet frictional material containing a fiber component, a filler, a friction adjustment agent and a thermosetting resin, the wet frictional material being fixed onto a surface of the core metal. Before or after the wet frictional material is fixed onto the surface of the core metal, the surface of the wet frictional material is subjected to a surface treatment process comprising pressing a smooth-faced hot plate of a temperature in a range of from 350.degree. C. to 550.degree. C., which temperature is selected so that it does not carbonize the thermosetting resin, against the surface of the wet frictional material for a time in a range of from 1 to 5 seconds. The wet frictional engagement plate has a friction coefficient which does not change and remains stable from initial use, and also has a long endurance life.
